I enjoy the seasons. I think it would be boring not to have them (ie: Florida).
No seasonal allergies in winter!
Is this shot just on the north end fill 0f the Peace River bridge?? I’ll tell you it was a real thrill , 1973-1974, to launch out of Taylor with max tonnage for a RS18 and two RS3′s, wheeling down to the bridge when the wooden trestle was still there. Occasionally if a RS3 was leading south we would have to set retainers.
hoggerdoug- This is indeed the north end of the bridge, mile 715 on the dot. I can imagine it was nice in sketchy in those days as well. Although there may have been a time or two in recent years when a unit would die on the northbound and the whole train would wind up rolling backwards, in emergency, on a proceed clearance, right down to the bridge.
