| R2W. Here is the eighth of 13 original photos that I took while riding in an Amtrak passenger train from Rye, New York, to Washington, DC, on 26 July 1987. Shown here (R to F) are the skyline of uptown Manhattan, various buildings in the mid-Bronx, as well as the northern approach to the Whitestone Bridge. The silhouette of Riverside Church's 392-foot-high tower is discernable in the center. Photo taken while approaching the Hell Gate Bridge, which was opened on 28 March 1917. |
