WP 3519 Editors Pick! Contributor's Pick!       
One of my all time favorite shots. If you look in a book about the California Zepher that is a shot taken in this same exact spot. I saw the book later on and compared the bushes and trees which were barely unchanged in the 30-40 year time difference in the photographs. Cabooses were on the headend of the train because of a large derailment at the Keddy Wye.

Brent Jackson General The Feather River Canyon. Am I to assume that the railways crosses over itself, hence the massive arch bridge? 5/5/2009 4:21:27 AM
Jerry Sires General The higher bridge in the image is a highway bridge over the canyon. I think that is California highway 9 if I remember right. 5/5/2009 4:35:07 AM
