It took me a while, but I finally found all four. Nice shot.

The trailing unit, 1848, is ex-T&P, which still has its dynamic brakes intact.

This setup (four trains in these locations) is still pretty much possible today. Although, realistically, I don't think I've ever seen a train coming up/going down the south approach to the MacArthur Bridge at the same time a train is crossing it on the other track, as in this photo. Bob, where were you standing when you took this shot? Is that location still available today?

Matthew, I made this photo 33 years ago. I really don't know where I was standing. If you find out, please let me know.

This shot can no longer be had, at least not from this angle anyway. The foreground would be blocked by the elevated East track of the Poplar Street interlocking (which now forms a wye at this location). This track was installed as a connection to the TRRA Merchants Sub in the mid 80's in order to eliminate the street running on Wharf St. as a connection.

Incredible atmosphere, light, dust and appropriate colors

Nice one, Bob!
