Here's a postcard of the bridge at Aqueduct. This view looking east towards Alplaus

Here is a car returning from Saratoga and crossing the Mohawk River Trestle.  AT one time, this bridge was the longest trolley bridge in North America.  It was removed in 1943, two years after the abandonment of the Saratoga Line.  This photo was taken on 9/14/40.
