Trevor, I was going to cheat because you told me the location and never disqualified me. After going through my text messages, I realized that you only told me verbally where it was a while back. And I forgot.

Reminds me of the stranded tender at Ingersoll, Montana. When the pacific extension was ripped up the tender was simply left on the track it still sits on to this very day.

Hmm...I didn't even know that little bridge existed. I may need to go investigate it now. :)

Can I guess, can I , can I? :lol: It is not a trail, yet.

It has a twin that JT did not see :wink:

The C&M bridge was filled by either GT (most likely) or CMGN, then it could be removed from their property insurance.
