Left-Handed, just like the CNW
The sun is just starting to shine through the bare trees as GBSO crosses the Ford River at Hyde, MI. I can think of very few double track bridges in the UP, mostly a short over pass here and there. It does attest to how busy this line once was with traffic off the Metropolitan Branch merging in at nearby Narenta to combine with what came off the more westerly parts of the Menomonie Range and even Gogebic Ranges plus all the traffic from the south. WC had moved the trains off it's parallel ex-SOO route a handful of years before adding some more traffic back to this old C&NW route. In a couple minutes this train will reach Escanaba.
