A birds eye view of a CSX Q439 at Bear Mountain, NY

Click on 'HQ' icon for better video sharpness...After hiking for 45 minutes to the top of Dunderberg Mountain via a hiking trail on Feb 1st, 2009, I was rewarded with the appearance of several Southbound trains on the CSX Riverline.
One of the Southbounds included this Q439...seen exiting the Fort Montgomery Tunnel and rolling through Bear Mountain State Park and across Iona Island with snow on the ground as a backdrop

Thanks....its a bit of a strenous hike to get up there, but well worth it.....Anthony's Nose Mountain, above the East end of the Bear Mountain Bridge is another favorite spot of mine.....From the top of Anthony's Nose, you can see from MP39 all the way up to CP45......I'll be back up there soon.....

You couldn't do that in WWII as Iona Is. was an ammo dump. In '46 or so I spent saturdays "helping" Pop flag trains at the south entrance (track work). I got to give the highball with Pop doing the same 15 feet behind me. Their were at least 2 tracks coming in and then several sidingson the island proper. I think Doodletown is on the flank of Dunderberg and the feds kept a nervous eye on everyone, German spy or not! Nice photo,too bad it isn't steam. Thanks for jogging a memory.
