The track that 580 is on was formerly the LE&N. The truss bridge once carried the CN Burford Sub. over the Grand River. The TH&B crossed the Grand River downstream on the girder bridge. Steve, I think the diamond/signal you are referring to was actually the CN/LE&N crossing.

Thanks for the comments guys!
and HTG, this bridge is the former CN Burford Sub….TH&B would cross the second bridge

It would be neat to see this spot when the TH&B crossed here and there was a diamond/signal….

An angle I have never seen before! Though 580 doesn’t go to SC Johnson anymore does it…so this really is never to be repeated.

That’s a really cool angle James. Good eye. It will very likely never be repeated.
