We spotted the bridge at Goshen from window of Virginia Scenic Railway’s Appalachian Special.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A couple days later we followed the train on its westward journey over Buckingham Branch’s former Chesapeake & Ohio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to action shots of the train, I wanted photos of the old pratt truss\u2014a twin span bridge that dates from 1890.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was built to accommodate a streetcar line, but so far as I can tell, no trolley line was ever built to Goshen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I made these digital images with my Nikon Z6-III, and also exposed a few Ektachrome color slides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
