Parallel Bridges, One for U S Rt12 and the Other for the Railroad, Cross the Mighty Missouri.
"We coast down the hill, clunk onto the bridge and across we go, watching the river through the girders moving by rhythmically, … "
2Mi North of Mobridge, SD. The black vertical object was a big sign post used to prevent the low western summer sun from blinding both the camera and the photographer (me). As I strain to take these three photos, the sun is bright and hot. The river is perfectly silent. There is very little traffic, so all is quiet except for the birds, which I also attempt to photograph. As I crossed the bridge, I was mindful of the above passage, and I tried to get the “rhyme of the girders”. But it was hard to do. Is this easier in a motorcycle? Perhaps, instead, I should have taken a “drivers view” photo while on the bridge. Can anyone help with photos here? The RR bridge is on the right, in this three-image-composite photo. To see it better, mouse slick on the photo, adjust the image up-down for best viewing and then scroll the image to see the RR bridge on the far right
