Sperry Under The High Bridge. Sperry Rail 129 (née-Lehigh Valley 29, St. Louis-EMC, 1925) was inspecting tracks on MTA Metro-North Railroad's Hudson Line when it passed under the High Bridge in the Bronx, New York on February 12, 2024. Sperry Rail Service inspects tracks for defects to ensure safe travel for its customers. While some of these “doodlebug” passenger service cars are still used, increasingly they have been migrating to new high rail vehicles, putting these veterans on short time on the railroad. The High Bridge opened in 1848, but was closed from 1970-2015. After a major rehabilitation, it re-opened to pedestrians June 9, 2015. It sits 140 feet above the Harlem River and unites Manhattan Island with the Bronx and thus mainland of the Unites States of America. It is also New York City's oldest existing bridge, pre-dating the opening of the Brooklyn Bridge by 35 years.
From a hint of "Bee" (NKP 765), colorful "Bees" (KCS), "Bees" w/ "attitude", to "Bees" that "sting" your eyes, in their own way they have "Bee" on display! Equipment that "Buzzes" with Yellow & Black colors! ("Bees" can still "Bee" entering this "hive"!)
