Scott,
If it's OK I'll post this one.

Oooh! Can I play?

 

I grew up 10 miles from this spot. SP crossing of the San Joaquin river at Herndon, CA near Fresno, my hometown.

 

I guess not.

 

Congratulations! Dave Porter

Good Job, Dave!!

Scott, don't worry I can post some more sites.

Wait a minute! Isn't there evidence of a fault line there? The bridges aren't straight.

 

I can't explain the apparent dip in the bridges. Both bridges appear to have a dip in the middle, but they are flat in real life. There are no fault lines in the near vicinity that I am aware of. You can check a picture on Railpictures.net for a ground's eye view.

That is the first post of a link to a picture that I have done on this site, hope it works.

Dave.

Thanks for the link Dave! It works great!:thumbs_up:

 

I didn't mean a dip. They are displaced horizontally as if a fault were there. Both bridges are displaced in the same east-west location. You would have to look down them longitudinally to tell is they were not straight.
