Bridge work on the Frisco
Author: SPMemphisFreight

Frisco Bridge over the MIssissippi in Memphis, construction progressing.  Taken 1/28.  There was about half as many concrete piers 2 months ago.  Didn't get symbol on the coal train.

Second and third shots are a UP westbound rack train on the parallel Harahan, taken same day.  One of Fred Smith's Airbuses hauling US mail is in the background. 

Taken from the west end bike path pad.

Hard to believe your good luck in taking a billboard picture and ending up with a nice coal train shot.

Yeah, distraction, I should have known better.  The sign is an ad for Coyote Ugly Saloon in downtown Memphis.
