Image: Grand Trunk Railway Bridge (East End),
This is what is left of a great American past investment in the All American Railway. Once these massive structures and millions of miles of rail carved passages through landscape of the United States. Over the course of a hundred years this country was stripped, conquered, and shaped by the Railway lines. Cities where reformed and even build from scratch to serve and support the rail system. But that is a all but gone era, replaced by airplanes and automobiles, but are they... their Ghosts still dot the landscape of America almost everywhere, and trains still have a foot hold on the transportation industry, but as the uncertain economic of the new millennium unfold will there be room for are lost love... the train? The above image is not Turkey's Bridge, Turkey's Bridge was was taken down when Interstate 295 was built, to make way for the automobile. Can relics like the Grand Truck bridge be reborn and put to use or has America society completely abandoned rail?
