Steam & Excursion > Chelatchie Prairie: the Little Bridge

We became very familiar with this little bridge, which I believe is called bridge 25, staging a number of photos here. Here's a sample:

1. 2-8-2T #10 smoking it up southbound. We lucked out with the weather, with forecasts earlier in the week predicting rain.
2. Northbound this time, in morning light.
3. The night shoot featured #10 and just the caboose.

There was a lot of potential at that spot, but after the third time we stopped there, some of us just nicknamed it "Pete's Swamp". I think this was probably my favorite of the little bridge shots.

Like the location, and the results!

Nice! Great light. So glad they got that steamer back in operation. I think it sat in litigation for 6-8 years? I had ridden behind it before it got taken OoS in 2006. We rode behind the diesel to the Moulton Falls Winery two years ago.

- Anyone know if the big bridge is getting fixed? Haven't heard anything on it for a while.

The most recent problem wasn't the bridge over the East Fork of the Lewis River but a roadbed slippage on the curve just west of the bridge.

An email I received yesterday giving my crew assignment for this coming Saturday advises: "And we’ll be operating down to (or close to) Wall and MP20 as in the past since the track problem south of the bridge has been fixed."

That is Excellent news
