I-255+US-50 Jefferson Barracks Bridge over Mississippi River near St. Louis

Image
( Bridge Hunter , 3D Satellite ) I don't normally do yet another steel tied-arch bridge, but when you get a view as unique as this, I went for it. This is "reverse railfan." Specifically, it is a photo from a train instead of a train. And at the bottom is some photos of the cantilever truss that it replaced. William A. Shaffer posted The Jefferson Barracks Bridge at St. Louis, MO (Shot through the window of Amtrak #22 en route to St. Louis) (Photo by William A.

CSX/B&O/M&O 1857 "Big Tunnel" near Tunnelton, IN

Image
Big Tunnel: ( Bridge Hunter , indianarrtunnels ) Big Tunnel:  Satellite plus Paint Originally built in 1857 for the Ohio & Mississippi Railroad and since controlled by the B & O, it is now a part of CSX. It was shortened and brick lined in 1898. A 1700 foot companion tunnel known as "Little Tunnel" was 'daylighted' (turned into a cut) in 1899. [Bridge Hunter] It was dug for a 6-foot gauge railroad. [ IndianaRRtunnels ] Two of the several photos posted by Carlton Crasher. Jacob Leukhardt   Should be one train a day Mon-Fri. The J783 local. I believe it runs between Mitchel and somewhere east of North Vernon. I believe it only runs one direction a day so for example, if it goes westbound to Mitchel on Monday, it should go east on Tuesday, then back west Wednesday and so on. Dennis DeBruler   Thanks for contributing photos to Bridge Hunter and for taking photos of B&O's CPL signals . One advantage of CSX not liking this B&O route is that they don'...
