Railway in fog. Had posted this earlier but felt it needed a better job in post processing, so I deleted it and reposted.

I had the great pleasure to record an interview with Alistair Urquhart, author of 'The Forgotton Highlander', recounting his time as a PoW slave, building this railway, I subsequently read his best selling book, and of how the PoWs conspired to compromise their work in defiance. I don't know if I would feel safe crossing the bridge.

This rail trestle was used to carry passengers and freight in and out of town. Our town was the end of the line for the Sierra Railroad until 1962. The railroad was used for many years in movies and TV shows such as "Unforgiven" "Little House of the Prairie" "Petticoat Junction" etc.
