A short morning in the Parkdale area

[Teegate]

All,

We spent the early morning today trying to get a photo for a trivia question I am going to ask, however I will not get it until tomorrow or next weekend. When I do we will see who can figure it out first without cheating. Stay tuned!

We then headed to Rockwood to do some measuring, and then to Parkdale. We visited the bridge on the JCRR over the Sleeper Branch. It is in semi bad shape, and even had to be slightly repaired by motorcycle users.

The ground support around the bridge was made of cement somewhat like the one at Bridge 76, and in the cement was coal.

And the train crossing pole is still there at Parkdale.

We looked for the 98 Milepost foundation and so far we have been successful, but we found the 97 Milepost west of Dutchtown.

And I added to my photo collection a sign in a tree.
