This is the Icehouse bridge that allowed workers to walk across the Roseville yard to the mammoth Icehouse. Now it allows us to walk from Downtown Roseville to the VFW hall and Royer park.
It has always fascinated me as to how little room side-to-side a railroad needs to move tons of freight. Then you look at an Interstate that is mandated to clear, pave, and mow almost a thousand feet across to move the same, or less annual freight. And America claims that we are an Environmentally Green Nation...gimme a break. (Mumble, Mumble, Mumble)
If you get a chance to come to WV, come and see the RJ Corman out of Thurmond,WV. It has some grades you would not believe. Curtis
I'm glad you explained the backstory of the bridge, otherwise the sign would have seemed kinda strange. In any case, nice shot!
This was one of the strangest photo days I have ever encountered. The early morning light was weird. The skies were all kinds of colors, with purples and orange hues, etc. My camera could not decide what to do. About fifteen years ago, the MRL local at old downtown Polson, Montana:
10/29/13 Train CRSA29 climbing the steep grade at Yocum Connection. Quartet of Geeps and SD's on the house track at South Amana shops. IAIS SD38-2 156 IAIS GP38-2 708 CN 8938 running LHF with the L563 and 32 cars.
346 at the CRRM sporting some interesting class flags. Shop switcher peewee (a plymouth 8 tonner) shoves 346 back into the roundhouse, wheels spinning all the way. Cool sunset.
