The caption is wrong, but this is the brand new bridge connecting
Herkimer with Little Falls. The West Canada Creek and The New
York Central Chicago Line needed to be crossed. The concrete and
steel marvel still exists, at least partially. Along with the 225 feet steel span, the bridge was 1,202 feet in length.
The former NYC main has been re-routed around the city and now is occupied by New York State Route 5.
Another card showing the beautiful arches of the viaduct.
This depot was a joint operation of the U&MV as well and the
Southern New York Railway which connected Herkimer and Mohawk with
Cooperstown and Oneonta.
Another shot of the Herkimer Depot. A former U&MV Horse-Car
arrives at the station.
Herkimer endured a major flood due to an ice jam on the Mohawk River in
1910. A horse-car is seen here treading water.
Here is what I presume is a builders' shot of the Viaduct. It
couldn't look anymore brand-new than this. This photo in a
large-format is available on the Library Of Congress' webpage.
You can download it and make prints for your scrapbook. Some
people sell this on eBay, but remember that you can find this yourself!
