I was doing the Prescott/Russell Recreation Trail by bike doing the powertrail of geocaches when I noticed this old rail bridge that had been converted for bike, foot, snowmobile and hoof traffic. Underneath the bridge is the date "1942" and about three from that is a cache (hint, hint). I was very pleased to see some remnants of the old rail system here as I'm a huge railfan. To see this date though, you'll have to be a troll and take a stroll under the bridge.
Cheers
