Western Railroad Discussion > Coos Bay swing bridge

Does anyone have photos of trains going over the ex-SP swing bridge at Coos Bay, Oregon since it was put back in service in late April?

I'm kind of looking for a reason to go over to the coast.....if I get there I'll try and get something to post here.

I was in Coos Bay at the end of April for a few days.
I caught this train creeping through Coos Bay at about 5 mph, then saw it slowly cross the swinging bridge as we drove north over the highway bridge.
Most of the log storage lots alongside the main street were empty.
Interestingly, that engine stopped for traffic lights as it was on its way to pick up the train.
Unfortunately, there was no way to stop on the bridge and get a shot of the train on the swinging bridge.
The train maintained its slow order speed all the way from the port and northward across the swinging bridge.
That track is in very poor condition around the port.
