Of Interest:

There are unconfirmed reports that in 1914 a famous scene from The Perils of Pauline was filmed on the LIRR’s Manhasset Viaduct, an 80-foot tall railroad bridge over wetlands on the Port Washington Branch that opened in 1895.  It is said that the damsel in distress was tied to the tracks by the mustachioed villain, escaping before the train arrives.
