Railpictures.ca - A.W.Mooney Photo: This bridge is of such massive proportions it just seems to swallow up a 6 unit, 30-40 car train like it was an N scale on an HO layout. Just to the west of Lethbridge, it spans the Oldman River and Valley to the tune of 5,327 feet, and at its highest point 314 ft above the valley floor. Even if this is a westbound train, complete with caboose, it made for a spectacular sight to witness. All six units up front are SDs. | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography

Home, Home On The Range!
Way out west.
The prairie isn’t always flat I see.
