Fall colors in the northeast have been rather lackluster due to the unusually wet summer and above average temperatures into the 2nd week of October. The trees don't know what to do. They are just turning sorta yellow and falling off. So this is the best I could do, color wise.

The
Paulinskill Viaduct, is a reinforced concrete railroad bridge built by the Delaware Lackawanna & Western RR that crosses the PaulinsKill [river]. It is 1100 feet long (you're seeing about half of it), and 115 feet above the river. Built between 1909-11, when completed it was the largest reinforced concrete structure in the world. It has been abandoned since 1982. There have been talks about restoring commuter service on this line from NY to Scranton PA. Personally, I don't think it will ever happen as the talks have been going on for 20 years (they should have thought about that before pulling the rails up).
