<p>Wow! So many choices! I voted for Tom Danneman, but a lot of others came close!<br></p><p>I don't have a remark for everyone's photos, but I do have a few...</p><p>- Elrond: Very nice! I like the fog! </p><p>- Andy: I love the way the train curves across the frame in this one! That's one heck of an impressive bridge!</p><p>- Tom: You got my vote this time! A spectacular bridge, an the elephant-style GE's don't hurt either! Great shot!</p><p>- Alex: That is one cool photo! It's hard to see anything past the train because of all the steam so the locomotive looks like it's coming out of the clouds! </p><p>- Jim: That's a very interesting bridge. I bet it really gives new engineers a sense of vertigo because of the sharp curve and height!</p><p>- Matt: It's too bad I missed your tour through New England! I have a few questions about your photo. What line is that? I instantly thought of the Red Line, but it crosses the Charles on the <a href="http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=1525515">Longfellow Bridge</a>, which even on the approaches, has arches underneath the bridge. There's never any flat-bottemed bridges like in your shot. And from 2008 - the bridge stil looked like that. In addition, there would be lots of lighted buildings lining the river.</p><p>Are you sure that isn't the bridge shared with the MBTA Commuter Rail over the Neponset River in Neponset, MA, south of Boston?</p><p>[url]http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=boston&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=58.555544,103.798828&ie=UTF8&ll=42.284596,-71.037673&spn=0.006778,0.012671&t=h&z=17[/url] <br></p>
