That’s interesting. Thank you.

Yeah, here in Sweden there is still a few steam engines that are doing trips occasionally (a few times a year) I have just never figured out how to join. 😛

Then there are the much smaller museum rail roads that runs along old tracks not in commercial use and they usually have really old trains running. 🙂

I find trains to be a fascinating subject. A relative recently sent me a link to a company that provides an experience driving a diesel or steam engine, with or without train. I’d love to do that, but the cost of “tuition” is beyond my budget. >grin<

You may have noticed one image I captured from the base of the trestle. I was on a sidewalk next to a roadway that passed underneath the trestle. That was on public property. What I didn’t note is that I used Luminar to “erase” part of a “No Trespassing” sign that stuck up in the lower left edge of the bridge. The area, except for the passage for pedestrians and roadway, is “off-limits”. I could have launched a drone from public property and flew it outside the railroad’s right of way, and even over the trestle. I opted to shoot with the drone from the park on the other side of the river as from there I was able to capture more of the trestle in a single image than I could from being right next to it.

There are more large trestles on the Burlington Northern tracks that run through the northern United States than I expected there would be, especially in those plains states east of the Rockies where the terrain is relatively flat.

Nice captures, I like the panoramic shot. Would the drone have been allowed there? Do you think you’d have gotten any interesting shots with it?
