Bridge 90

[NW Mailing List]

John,

Bridge 90, a 115' through plate girder bridge, is at MP 252.4, and coordinates 37 18' 43.37 N, 79 52' 21/77 W.  Note that east of the bridge the two main line tracks diverge where the Bonsack middle track was during steam days.  When the middle track was retired the double crossovers west of the bridge were installed.

My on-the-ground search for the former location of the pusher siding at Boaz leads me to believe that it was just west of Bridge 96, a 16"concrete slab bridge, at about MP 254 and coordinates 37 17' 32.32" N, 79 53' 06.35" W.

  All:
   
  I have been enjoying the discussion of Link's Doubleheader shot on several levels.  But not being familiar with the mileposts and bridge numbers puts me at a disadvantage.  So, could someone point me to the location of bridge 90 so that I can view it from Google earth, and maybe in person some day?
   
  Thanks
