The morning news showed it and it looked like several cars went thru the side before it collapsed. I think it's funny UP will have to spend some of it's hard earned licensing money it made from me. My son and I model this area. Reply Edit CopCarSS Member sinceAugust 2002 From: Turner Junction 3,076 posts Posted by CopCarSS on Wednesday, May 4, 2005 9:29 AM Dang...that was a neat bridge. Something tells me that whatever replaces it won't be as photogenic.

Reply Edit dknelson Member sinceMarch 2002 From: Milwaukee WI (Fox Point) 11,439 posts Posted by dknelson on Wednesday, May 4, 2005 8:31 AM This was the Elkhorn Creek Bridge, a neat steel truss bridge over a bucolic little creek or river, with a gravel road bridge immediately south and parallel to the rails -- great for railfanning in a totally rural area. When there were no trains there were birds and fish and frogs to watch. The bridge is totally taken out -- this will be some project. Galt is known to railfans because that is where some of the Northwestern Steel & Wire steam locomotives ended up in the weeds after that factory stopped running steam around 1981 or so.

It's gotta suck to be UP MOW worker today between Galt and Fremont Neb Reply Edit Anonymous Member sinceApril 2003 305,205 posts Posted by Anonymous on Wednesday, May 4, 2005 8:26 AM spbed, Galt has about 40 people. Didn't know they had a newswire.BNSFrailfan, yes it wiped out a short trestle bridge. Cars are in a creek. not a river. Mostly lumber. Tried to get photos, but security is tight and only two roads in area. Every thing closed unless you have hi-railers on your truck.
