🪵 The wooden railroad bridge over the Genesee River was the biggest wooden railroad bridge in the world at the time. Built in 1852, this bridge was a critical bottleneck for trains traveling east-west to the south of Lake Ontario. The Genesee River is long and meanders widely…it is the only river that completely crosses the borders of New York State and would have taken a significant detour to get around otherwise. 🔥 And the day did come when trains would have to take the long way for awhile…A

Throwback Thursday: It was five years ago this week that I saw one of the most fascinating sights in my documentation of the new bridge build at Letchworth State Park and subsequent removal of the 1875 trestle there. The new railroad arch had been open a month and the piece by piece dismantling of the iconic trestle was underway. Tommy Belford of Nunda, NY did a masterful job on the excavator removing the old (and heavy) timbers, little by little. He was on this machine, some 240 feet above the

💃Ok this is wild. The timberdoodle, woodcock, “Labrador Twister” is rarely seen, rarely photographed, rarely caught doing this iconic funky walk. 📍And in comes a park visitor with this incredible footage from the Gardeau area. A once in a lifetime moment! None of the nature center staff have seen this in person. Awesome! 💫The walk is a meme, it’s hilarious, but for real why do they walk like that? 🪱We don’t really know, but some smart folks think it helps them find worms (major part of their

Five Years Ago Today: On March 14, 2018 a large section of the 1875 railroad trestle at Letchworth State Park was brought down in a controlled detonation. The iron collapsed into the Genesee River below and was removed immediately by iron workers and machine operators. The new arch bridge opened three months prior to train traffic, within several weeks the old trestle was completely removed. I was able to pre-install a GoPro camera in the blast zone to capture this as part of my documentation he
