Big Bridge
CN's Grande Cache Subdivision crosses the Wapiti River south of Grande Prairie Alberta on a large steel trestle.
Getting close enough to the trestle to photograph proved to be more difficult than expected.
Route A was shelved due to the lack of ownership of a lifted "Rig Rocket" pickup truck. Route B was selected, however the latter did not get us as close to the bridge as initially intended. An almost 2 km flight of the chicken was required to produce the shot you see here, of train A458 heading northbound. he first thing that came to mind when I laid eyes on the bridge was "Damn that's big!" and getting the bird into position in time to frame the train on the massive structure proved to be yet another challenge.
