Irontown Subdivision update: In my previous post, I showed an abandoned ROW with a tunnel and bridge, and made mention of a newer alignment with a much larger bridge, and longer tunnel. Here is that bridge. Built sometime in the early 1900s, this new alignment was short, but took the rails out of the most rugged section of Alder Canyon (see my previous post for more context here). Here we see an empty CP grain train traversing the bridge, having reached level track just beforehand. This is the top of a roughly 10 mile stretch of 2% gradient to get the railway up and out of the valley. Traces of the old line are visible in the background of these shots.

Insanely good. I'm gimmepiggin' a little bit. Can't wait to see progress on this project!
