Rosendale Trestle, Rosendale, New York
It’s been 40 years since trains rolled over the historic Rosendale Trestle in Rosendale, New York. At 150 feet tall, this stretch of track was the highest span bridge in the United States when it opened in 1872. It was constructed by the Wallkill Valley Railroad to extend their line in New York's Hudson Valley, and crosses Rondout Creek in the community of Rosendale, an area best known for cement production. Rosendale cement was used in construction of the Brooklyn Bridge, the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty, and a wing of the United States Capitol. As the industry fell into decline, so did the railroad. These days, the trestle has found new life as a public walkway, open for all to enjoy.
