About this property

Bridge L-158 is a disused railroad bridge over the Muscoot Reservoir near Goldens Bridge in Westchester County, New York, United States. Built in 1883 to carry New York Central Railroad traffic over Rondout Creek near Kingston in Ulster County further upstate, it was moved to its current location in 1904. In 1960, it was taken out of service after the line it had served in its new role had been closed, and the tracks removed. It is the only remaining double-intersection Whipple truss railroad bridge in New York. In 1978, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the only bridge entirely within Westchester County to be listed in its own right.
