Can't tell which has more rust, the bridge or the loco.

As a side note, interesting scar between the number boards.

I think the Mars Light was there.

The Mars Light was acquired by NASA under 'Public Domain' rights. They needed it for the 'space program'.

Do you think that in a few years the bridge will have to be condemned as a danger, and they'll use that as an excuse to close the railway line?

Where do the 3 tracks to the east go? Is it Metra only or what?
