Westbound Over The East Fork River
An autorack train powered by three SD70ACes glide across the roughly 400 foot span. The bridge not only crosses the river in Batavia, but also crosses state routes 132 and 222. 222 is to the left. 132 is to the right.

This scene is also showing off another one of my photo backdrops. This shot is actually a testiment to testing your backdrops on plain paper. The backdrop doesn't look too bad from this angle, as this is the angle is was designed for… viewing from a standing position. But when you look at it from more of a ground level perspective, the river is really steep in the background. Fortunately I still have the diarama I used for this shot, so I will simply reshoot it.

This shot also gives a good perspective on the relationships between the levels. At this point, the tracks have descended about ten of the fifteen inches that separate the decks. Summit Road is to the left edge of the upper deck, and Clermont Steel is directly above the bridge.
