For the TCR forum crew who has been up to the Twin Ports and have lived through the hours of agony waiting for a train to cross I manage to have a little luck while traveling on the Lake Superior & Mississippi RR the sound of a horn in the distance caught my ear

Even though I did not get the shot I wanted for now it is a minor victory.
And here is a shot as we passed under the bridge

At least we have proof that the trains do cross this bridge

Trains cross that bridge quite often - maybe 15-20 a day. So the track down below is used for excursions?

Thats the spot, the tracks on the MN side are the ones we where on. the tracks continue south from the bridge about 2 miles, there is a run around track to move the power from one end to the other. It was pretty cool running under the bridge while a train was crossing above.
