Don't photograph trains very often, but here's my input, from a cloudy day last weekend from our ride.

JT,

Would you mind telling me where you found this bridge? I live in Elkhart, and would like to find it and possibly photograph a train going across this bridge myself.

Several years ago I found a similar bridge in Hamilton, Michigan, but I do not "think" this bridge is being used anymore.

That's the same one that the train is crossing. I think it's Thursday's the CSX local runs to Hamilton.

Nice selection of shots there J T.

So that bridge is only used one day a week?

Thank you!

I'm not a train person but the Bluebell railway (external link) is very close to me so it's rude not to pop over there every now and then.

Two from the 2007 Giants of Steam

IMAGE: http://www.pbase.com/m1ke_a/image/87542407.jpg

Blackmoor Vale & 92 Squadron 34081

92 Squadron had a problem on her first run that weekend

IMAGE: http://www.pbase.com/m1ke_a/image/87595746.jpg
For those who have an interest in this this is what John Elphick said of the problem

As 92 Squadron’s fireman on the Saturday morning I can confirm that we were indeed having steaming problems. On that first trip up the line steam was leaking so badly that I could hardly see where we were going and was unable to assist the driver in sighting signals and keeping a lookout – luckily the view was far better from his side of the cab!

After our second return trip to Kingscote there was an hour or so’s layover before we were due to double-head the 2.25pm departure with Wadebridge so we set about cleaning the fire, which appeared to be badly clinkered. In the course of trying to loosen the clinker with the dart we managed to break one of the elements of the rocking grate; the broken pieces fell through the hopper into the pit. It is enormously to the credit of our workshop staff, led by the experienced and resourceful Colin Turner, that a replacement grate element was installed – without dropping the fire! – so quickly and only one trip was missed.

The engine took its place at the head of the 4.55pm service and Wadebridge was brought out to double-head, thereby giving photographers the opportunity to see the two unrebuilts together which they would otherwise have missed.

The Bluebell staff have also been very accommodating when I've shot some 360' VR's there - http://www.mikeanton.c​om …/Bluebellrailwa​y2009.html (external link)

BB got it right, Charles. The CSX local, Y121, usually makes the trip there on Thursdays as they pick up and drop off fertilizer and grain at the Hamilton co-op (which also owns the line between Holland and Hamilton).

Here are a couple more shots taken several years ago. Winter and summer:

And one taken a couple of months ago from the opposite side of the bridge. As far as I know, this is the only shot in existence from the east side of the bridge:
