Are there any videos showing the heavy equipment working at the scene after the derailment?Interesting how this heavy equipment operates.
You know. I just saw this incident on a yesterday newspaper from this morning.
Derailment on the bridge today. Two cars fell off.
Hello:
When was the old railroad bridge converted to a pedestrian bridge to carry foot traffic for the Appalachian Trail? Also, what was the route of the Appalachian Trail prior to this bridge being the river crossing? Was it the route 340 highway bridge?
Thank you!

As of July 2020, the pedestrian path was fixed and the Bridge was re-opened.
