WTC steel escort S/B on 9A iao Croton?

[Monty 35]

Heading north on 9A we saw Croton FD lined up on the shoulder facing NB. Wife and I thought that was a bit unusual. A little further on we saw more lights. State trooper out front, then it looked like a flag draped piece of steel draped in the US flag followed by several fire apparatus.

Very impressive - my wife said it gave her the chills.

The steel, which came from the North Tower, was escorted to Croton Landing from Continental Village FD. It is being used as part of the Croton/Cortlandt 9/11 Memorial currently being constructed.

Continental Village 2131 & E232, Peekskill R134, Verplanck E128, Buchanan E161, Croton EMS 55B1, Croton FD 2081, E118, E119, E120, TL44, T10 & R18 as well as police units from Croton PD, NYSP and WCPD participated in the escort.

Here's one quick photo I took with my iphone of it being placed. For anyone interested, this memorial is going at the far north end of Croton Landing Park.
