Someone just asked me about the underpass/railroad bridge on the rail trail at Elsmere Avenue. I thought all of you would enjoy these pictures too. Hard to imagine this was once a level grade crossing!

| Looking towards Albany. That's the passenger station on the right, modern day parking lot of the Blanchard Post. That smudge of dirt road over the tracks is Elsmere Avenue. |
 |
| Looking towards Delmar. |
 |
| Looking towards Delaware Avenue. CVS parking lot on the left. |
 |
| Looking south. St Stephen's on the left, tiny bit of the former grocery store/post office on the right. It is still standing at the top of the stairs which they put in when the underpass was created. Note the ring from a locomotive. Those were rung by whacking on it with a hammer for fire calls or other emergencies. |
