We discussed this bridge's eminent destruction here recently.

With the overhead bridge slated to be razed next week, will that mean any disruption of train traffic if minor?

Ok, guys and gals I don't know what this mainline is called now under NS but it's the old New York Central Water Level Route btw Buffalo and Chicago (but I know east of Cleveland it went to CSX). The Capital and Lake Shore Limited also use this line.

The bridge is made of steel and I don't know what it'll take (torches and crane?) and the amount of time to clear the right-of-way. I would think the railroad will be represented as they wouldn't want any unneeded delay or things on their right-of-way. Or perhaps NS or their contractor is tearing it down?

I would imagine a state contractor will be doing the removal but with NS personnel on the scene to grant work window(s). I have to imagine that once it's all rigged up and they're ready to take the thing down, it shouldn't take more than a few hours for a crane crew to get it out of there.

Is taking up the bridge unpatriotic?
The bridge last Sunday.
