Change Is The Only Constant

It's a brutally hot spring afternoon just outside of Reeseville at the Bobolink Rd overpass, as Canadian Pacific's eastbound freight ducks under the classic wooden timber bridge. The Soo Line SD60's are still out and about, albeit in much different paint schemes, but the Bobolink Rd. wooden timber bridge is slated for destruction this week. Heavy machinery is on sight to do the deed of replacing the last wooden overpass between Chicago and St. Paul on the former Milwaukee Road main. I'm confident the new spancrete, run of the mill, characterless bridge will make a fine backdrop as the same description of equipment roll underneath it. Like it or not, nothing is forever. This old Milwaukee Road B&B built bridge will be missed.
