Artist's Description
New York Central Railroad Bridge B18-A in North Tonawanda (just north of Buffalo), New York built around 1892 to service the industries that used to exist in this section of Tonawanda. The industries shut down during the 1960s and 70s and the bridge has been inactive since. The bridge crosses Tonawanda Creek from Tonawanda to North Tonawanda.
The creek connects Erie Canal, also known as New York State Barge Canal, to the Niagara River and as such is often referred to as the canal. Heading up the stream, the Tonawanda Creek and the Erie Canal split at Pendelton between Depeau Park and Amherst Museum Colony Park. Tonawanda Creek is then heading towards roughly towards Akron, NY. The Erie Canal is heading towards Lockport, NY. The canal construction began in 1817 and concluded in 1825.

Outside of photography I rise my two daughters, Madeleine & Nicole...
