I know: we’ve seen this scene before. I don’t care. Photo by Claudia1967.

Cris Benton uses kite aerial photography to take pictures of many things from an interesting angle, including several abandoned railway bridges — like this swing bridge over Newark Slough in California. Photo by KAP Cris.

Eight — count ‘em — eight UP locomotives pull a train across the Clio Trestle in 1995. Photo by Matt (mistergoleta).

I refuse to apologize for posting so many bridge photos — not when there are so many fine ones out there, like Jim Brekke’s shot of this bridge over the St. Croix River, on the Wisconsin-Minnesota border. Photo by Jim’s outside photos.

A classic view along the line from Chur to St. Moritz. Photo by Trui Jentink.

Another bridge for you. Wolfgang Schlegl’s tremendous photo of the tremendous 845-metre Battle River trestle in Alberta looks different because he shot it using HDR. Photo by A guy with A camera.

This concrete viaduct reminds me of the ones built by the Lackawanna. My partner Jennifer likes it when I find photos of railroad bridges (so expect to see more like this). Photo by 100wordminimum.

An abandoned steel trestle in Corbin, Montana; photo by Ron Armstrong. This was on the Milwaukee Road, wasn’t it?

The passenger coach window mars this photo somewhat, but Cory Dalus‘s photo of the Algoma Central’s Agawa Canyon train crossing the Montreal River trestle is still a great shot of an unusual structure: a trestle atop a hydroelectric dam.
