“They are great when you only see them for a minute or two when they roar by at speed.”


Unless you are WALKING over the bridge and the train goes by——under the bridge.

Dreadful.

We did that when I was a kiddie. It was near a station and the trains would be starting up, belching mucho smoke. It was a thrill!

As an old Savin HILL1 boy I used to see those locomotives coming and deliberately stand on the bridge with my friends as they passed under us.
That's gone now and the Southeast Expressway has replaced those tracks. - Tom .
