Looking west at the same grade crossing in Columbia in January of 2002.
As LNE #701 leads a freight towards the Delaware River, it crosses Route 94 at grade. It has just crossed the bridge over the Paulins Kill (the bridge can be accessed by hiking east from this location – please stick to the right-of-way and don’t tresspass!).

Looking east at the site of the Route 94 grade crossing in January of 2002 reveals that the right-of-way is overgrown but reasonably intact.
A westbound LNE freight, headed up by a classic consist of handsome FA’s, crosses the Paulins Kill on a through truss bridge.

The same view as seen in January of 2002. To the best of the photographer’s knowledge, this is one of very few L&NE bridges that survived its scrapping in the early 1960’s.
