[PHOTOS] Walking The Rockaway Beach Branch

Posted by Bill Newkirk on Sun Oct 13 15:42:59 2019

I couldn't resist, with ongoing RBB thread. There were early photos at three locations, but I walked the line in April of 1989.
I entered the RBB near White pot Jct. Here's the dangerous Yellowstone Blvd bridge. (April 1989)
