Album: When you least expect it...

Ah, EMDs. That's more like it. My first time catching the Rover in action, and my first time catching anything on the East Nishnabotna bridge in Atlantic. And to think I was just out to shoot bridges. :-) It was just after lunchtime, and as you can see from the shadows, I would have been better off on the south side of the bridge. These guys snuck up on me, though, and I felt blessed just to record them on the bridge at all.

I'm oftentimes blind to obvious details until I begin modeling something, and this bridge is no exception. I never noticed until recently that it was either a double-track span at one time or was at least built with the potential of handling a second track. Or maybe I knew and forgot again.
