"Variety is the Spice of Life." IMHO, it's high time to convert the culvert at m.p. 287.50 back into the trestle that stood there until early 2010 – you know, the one under which the troll JéBêWèX used to live, at least in the summer and early fall. SFAIK, the biggest problem is that it's not oriented real well for sunrise or moonrise photos, other than some "going away" shots that Scott Turner would probably object to. It would be great for afternoon Phraud-O-Freights, though, such as in this view by Brian Jansky:

Speaking of MOW folks enjoying their job – and of m.p. 287.5 – see [ngdiscussion.net].
