@MrSloika Yes. There was a crew that was working ahead to repair the iron and steel. For the most part the bridge was in great shape. It was breathtaking working up there. It's a project that I'll never forget.
This is the Poughkeepsie Railroad bridge. The walkway is opening as a pedestrian walkway on Oct 3. (Supposedly the longest elevated walkway in the world from what I hear)
This bridge is a mile and a half long
and has been there over 200 years
it was last used in the 70s

Amazingly good condition for such an old bridge.

Overall, yes. There were spots where the bridge was warped and twisted from the fire of 1974.

@jfiske1 Did those sections require remediation before the new decking was installed?
