Bridge L-158 is a disused railroad bridge over Muscoot Reservoir near Goldens Bridge, New York, United States. Built to carry New York Central Railroad traffic over Rondout Creek near Kingston, it was moved to its current location in 1904.
In 1960, it was taken out of service and the tracks removed. It is the only remaining double-intersection Whipple truss railroad bridge in New York.[1] In 1978, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the only bridge entirely within Westchester County to be listed in its own right.[3]
