Double Decker - a photo on Flickriver

Double Decker

            There are some times when chasing a train, or driving anywhere for that matter, where you come across a scene that makes up immediately come to a halt and say, "Yeah, I need to shoot that."

With just enough cached map data to actually backtrack away from Chapman (CH Cabin) and up towards Louisa, I finally regained cell service and also came across this pair of bridges. As soon as I started to drive across the single lane bridge, I said to myself, "Yeah, I need to shoot that."

The question I had at the time was why a one lane bridge? The answer came a week later when editing photos from the trip and talking with friends. The narrow bridge was actually built as a railroad bridge in 1883 for the Chatteroi Railway. Eventually, the C&O came to own the line, and a newer, stronger bridge was needed, thus the rail bridge to the right was constructed in 1914. Rather than dismantle a very usable bridge, the old bridge was converted to a road bridge instead.

The wait for CSX C007 wasn't terribly long, but well worth it. A very unique location to be sure.
