POUGHKEEPSIE BRIDGE Completed in 1889, this 6,768-foot-long cantilever truss bridge carried Maybrook Line trains 212 feet above the Hudson River. It burned in 1974, impacting regional freight rail routes. It is now the Walkway Over the Hudson State Park. Source: Kent Cochrane.

    A Guide to the John W. Barriger III Papers in the John W. Barriger III National Railroad Library A Special Collection of the St. Louis Mercantile Library at the University of Missouri St. Louis This project was made possible by a generous grant From the National Historical Publications and Record Commission an agency of the National Archives and Records Administration and by the support of the St. Louis Mercantile Library at the University of Missouri St. Louis © 1997 The St. Louis Mercantile Library Association i Preface and Acknowledgements This finding aid represents the fruition of years of effort in arranging and describing the papers of John W. Barriger III, one of this century’s most distinguished railroad executives. It will serve the needs of scholars for many years to come, guiding them through an extraordinary body of papers documenting the world of railroading in the first two-thirds of this century across all of North America. In every endeavor, there are individuals for whom the scope of their involvement and the depth of their participation makes them a unique participant in events of historical importance. Such was the case with John Walker Barriger III (1899-1976), whose many significant roles in the American railroad industry over almost a half century from the 1920s into the 1970s not only made him one of this century’s most important railroad executives, but which also permitted him to participate in and witness at close hand the enormous changes which took place in railroading over the course of his career. For many men, simply to participate in the decisions and events such as were part of John Barriger’s life would have been enough.

Is Heritage Tourism a goal? Is a rail trail a “green nature tunnel” or an evocative linear historical site? Cultural Resources A rail trail is more than a connection between historic places, it IS a historic place… a linear industrial archaeological district, a “cultural landscape” …and a Heritage Tourism asset! Interpretation can enrich a person’s appreciation and experience of place Trail Uses Recreation: happens by default, if people are on a trail and they are moving and looking at things Interpretation: happens by choice, if provided…and people look at it Trail Interpretation Planning Planning can include preservation & interpretation of a trail corridor’s historical resources Consider interpretive programming from the start: What physical remains survive? What stories can they tell? “Double-you?! What does that mean? Westchester?” _ _ . _ Railroad Archaeology A railroad right-of-way can contain lingering evidence of communication, operations, safety, etc.
