Blasterz love trains, and cool benchmarks, and waymarking, and bridges -- so this was a 4-fer for us! These bridges are easily seen from the Ohio Street pedestrian bridge, but to truly appreciate them you have to walk a short distance on the hike and bike trail along the Red River.
We were unable to get a better shot of the bridges from the railroad ROW because the BNSF was running remote control trains over the bridges, assembling a train. Mama Blaster did not want to get too close to the unmanned locomotives.
