100 Days’ Changes

Newburgh-Beacon Bridge, late October 2013.

Same bridge February 4 2014.

WYTL 65611 Line and Doris Moran passing under that same bridge  February 4 2014.

Looking south toward Bannerman’s Castle late October 2013.

From not as close . . . but that’s Bannerman’s slightly off to the left.

Northside of Bear Mountain Bridge in October 2013 and

yesterday with Stephen Reinauer with RTC 80  north bound and

and Stephen-Scott with light barge RTC 20.

Doris meets the train.

Here’s looking south from Newburgh dock mid November a few years ago, and

here’s the same view from earlier this week.

July 2012 KVK

I’ve never seen or heard of Sam M before.  Anyone know what she’s doing in the boro?

Dramatic as this is . . . a few seconds earlier was even better .  . . that’s Maersk Montana.

Guesses on the tugboat on Eagle Beaumont‘s port bow?

The tug is not unusual in itself, but that it’s doing assist

work  . .. is something I’ve never seen.  Yes, there’s a line there connecting Stephen Scott to the tanker.

Maybe all other “assistants” were engaged elsewhere?

Charles D. McAllister solo was assisting British Harmony away from

the dock and retrieving the pilot.

The waters of the KVK seemed to call beckon me so strongly to come swim that I had to leave.
