COLD BROOK is another way station, a mile beyond, if your train happens to stop there. The Esopus rushes madly by under a new iron bridge on the right, bordered by a tangled mass of wild flowering vines which send up their fragrance to greet the traveler in the car window while he listens to the chattering roar of the stream. Following the Esopus now for a mile along the base of Mount Pleasant, with Mount Tobias and Mount Tremper in the eastern background, across the meadows and orchards which intervene, the stream suddenly bends away and out of sight for a time, and the train soon afterwards stops at (Mount Pleasant). |
