About Albany County Rail Trail ....
This orthophoto shows the Albany County Rail Trail and the Normans Kill Gorge. Notable in this photo is how the LiDAR shoots through the bridges, making the bridges shown on the orthophoto overlaid on the hillshade appear to drop into each gorge. Kind of a neat effect, as is the many deep ravines surrounding the rail trail.
