	The Poughkeepsie Railroad Bridge - Purple Mountain Press
		On the bridge deck, wooden railroad ties were smoldering, and next to them, wooden walkways were burning, fanned by a moderate breeze.

		The bridge will be reconstructed in 45 days, probably starting as early as February 2004, Valdez said.
		Reconstruction of bridges usually take up to six months to complete, but Valdez said the Mountain Valley Road bridge will be done quickly because it will be a modular bridge constructed before it is put into place.
