Remarks & Notes

A CN train moves across the busy Soo Locks at dusk. There is a single unit on the point and another four hopper cars back due to weight restrictions on the bridge. They will be combined once on the Michigan side. The International Railroad Bridge has nine camelback truss spans crossing the St. Marys River with bascule and vertical lift bridge components crossing the American Locks at the St. Marys Falls Canal. It is the only bridge in the United States known to include these three types of spans in a single structure to use an interlocking mechanism to connect the leaves of the double-leaf bascule span. It is Michigan's most significant railroad bridge from an engineering history standpoint and is eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places.

A continuously growing album of photos that IMHO reveal the awesome and seldom-seen beauty of the railroad world from the dimming of day to dawn's early light! From dusk to dawn, trains roll on! (I'm still finding gems of sunset-to-sunrise surprises!)
