Folks we corrected white balance on this one – the scan was colour cast.

Doug is standing on the embankment for this image, not on the bridge.
The old bridge was wood-planked with iron supports, one of those with the hump in the center to give clearance for the tracks. Not very much room to stand on it, but since vehicles would not be moving very fast, it was somewhat safe if you paid attention. I probably have this train in my notes, if in fact I saw it. Would guess it’s 466 from Fart Eerie with those trucks for the Ford plant.
But then, what do I know….
