Fantastic. I think this is as close (In my opinion) to making trains seem more interesting as possible as one could make it.

Extremely nice. I love the scale/depth of nos. 1 & 6.

There sure is a lot to be said for western railroading. There are some wonderful photo opportunities (except where I live).

I'm not short. I'm concentrated awesome!

Amazing series.

Love #1 for the view of the bridge...just jaw dropping

Like the colors in #3...oh and the water fall in the foreground

Like #4...think it would make for a good themed christmas card

And #5 looks funny...kept having to scroll back. Looks like the closest portion of the bridge was built upside down...if I make any sense.

#7 would look good famed and hung on the wall.

Couldn't get those types of train shots in this part of the US....I don't know of any accessible bridges (like your pictures) in these parts.

You're right! :lol:

Truss bridges really are the same as deck truss bridges except inverted. (the bridge in the foreground is a deck truss)

This is a GREAT series. I'd be curious to know how you managed to get so many bridge shots from such terrific angles.

I suspect there was a fair amount of hiking involved. :lol:

Tremendous photos, thanks for sharing. I particularly like the first one. The bridge almost doesn't look safe!
