Abandon RR Bridge in Waxahachie, TX
Feb 16, 2016 01:49:43 #
About 40 miles south of Dallas, Waxahachie is the seat of Ellis county. I went their to photograph the court house when I spotted this abandon RR bridge. I can't resist these structures and this one turned out to be exceptional. I DID get some great shots of the courthouse which I will post later.... BTW - I believe Waxahachie means 'the place where the cows go to poop' in the Alabama-Coushatta native american language.... :) :)
The guys in the last shot just happened to be walking nearby and I got them to pose for a shot......

Great series. Looking at the spacing of where the rails had been raises the question, narrow gauge rails??

Very nice Railroading images, I am a Railroad enthusiast and I find it rather sad to see old Railroads abandoned, a time gone bye, they were the backbone of the USA economy at one time, and a very main way of real people getting from one town to another. I took a 3 day trip from Michigan to Florida on Amtrak with my Grandson, we had a "Roomette", which included all meals, it was a special memory this Grandpa will always cherish.

Appreciate that..... I did run them through Photomatix.... Not for an HD effect but to smooth out the curve....
