  Mike,

  It is located at the east end of Blue Ridge Springs Road (Rt 616). See the following link:

  http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=blue+ridge,+va&ie=UTF8&ll=37.372579,-79.80576&spn=0.006369,0.013947&t=h&z=17 

  The bridge no longer exists and the foliage has grown up along the right of way so that the scene is nearly unrecognizable.

    Good Day,
                         I have seen photos and video of the "railfan's bridge" across the mainline in Blue Ridge, Virginia for many years. I imagine it is long gone by now. But I live in Ohio and never had the opportunity to visit it. I now have a trip to virginia planned and would like to visit the site. Could someone give me good directions to the exact location?
    Many Thanks,
    Mike Beadle
