Post subject: | Dayton's Bluff |
I've absolutely fallen in love with Dayton's Bluff... what a great place to shoot. 1. Any idea as to which train would come in along the river (via the track near the Science Museum, not Robert St. Bridge) with a pair of UP EMD's running long hood forward and a dozen or so hoppers and 5 or 6 autoracks? 2. Is it possible to execute a nice glint shot from up there? I managed a nice evening shot on Saturday, and was pleased with the results, but I wasn't really what I was trying to accomplish: 3. Does ICE/DME ever send anything through that area? 4. Does anyone have a 400 mm lens they'd like to lend me? |

The train was a UP local that services their Auto Rack facility and the grain mill just up Warner Rd a bit. I can't remember the cross street but I'm sure someone here will provide it. I've never seen the ICE/DME come past pigseye. I enjoyed your shots as it is one of my favorite locations also. This is probably my favorite shot that I've taken from there. http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.p ... 25&nseq=80 |

Well, yesterday the scene changed at the Bluff. The signal bridge to the west of the Warner Road bridge fell down. It sounds like it came down on a Z Train and got dragged into a CP freight, but I cannot confirm that at this point. The bridge was removed within a couple of hours and traffic resumed. I stopped down today and there were 30+ MOW and signalmen looking at the scene. It is probably making things interesting for the dispatchers without those signals in place. Edit: Here is the Pioneer Press Article (with picture). |

The CP train actually hit it and it fell on a passing Z. Leave it to the CP to cause the BNSF more problems.... |
