Simple bridges are a thing of beauty. This truss bridge takes White Plains Road over the Amtrak/Metro-North tracks just north of East Tremont Avenue, near Parkchester. It has a twin bridge a block away at Unionport Road.
As late as about 2000 it still had a pair of Westinghouse incandescent “cuplights” illuminating the pedestrian walkway.
Just as Flushing Avenue doesn’t go to Flushing, White Plains Road doesn’t go to White Plains, but leaves you off in Mount Vernon.
