Bridges Of Fort Montgomery. Passing through one of the classic locations on the CSX River Sub, CSXT 4568 (née-CSXT 768, SD70MAC, 3/2000) leads train I157-02 over Popolopen Creek in Fort Montgomery, New York on November 3, 2022. The pedestrian bridge (lower) is part the New York State Park, the road bridge (above) carries U.S. Route 9W. Even this late in the season, there is still some nice fall foliage to accent the scene.
CSXT 4568 wears a special paint scheme to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Operation Lifesaver. Operation Lifesaver Inc. (OLI) began in 1972 "with the goal to reduce railroad-related collisions, deaths and injuries across the United States, utilizing the '3 E’s – Education, Engineering and Enforcement.'” While there has been an 84% reduction in railroad crossing incidents from 1972 until 2020, OLI is not resting on their laurels and continues to send members into the field to teach everyone from school groups to law enforcement. Congrats OLI, and thank you for all of the hard work of your organization! More on Operation Lifesaver at https://oli.org
