Now the rest of the story

Last week we wrote about our exciting and hot trip to North Alabama. And now the conclusion. After leaving Stevenson I headed to Bridgeport Alabama. Not too far up the road. I did notice a massive construction site on the south side of the highway. I was unable to tell what was being worked on. Just a lot of earth moving. Soon I was in Bridgeport. I began to nose around the downtown area and located the old depot. The building is a substantial structure with light colored walls, terracotta tile roof and similarly colored trim. A museum resides inside. The depot is at the foot of a nearby hill with part of the earth cut away for a track siding to curve by. The track makes a wye with the end at what appears to be an old cotton mill perhaps. Also, on the museum ground are a Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis switch locomotive and caboose. In the distance are the mountains. A very scenic locale. When I went to the main track side of the depot to shoot some pics another train appeared in the distance. I got a pic of it rumbling by. Another train on Memorial Day I thought. The only person I had told that I might make this trip was my daughter. I wondered if she had contacted CSX railroad and persuaded them to have a couple or trains rolling for my benefit. Next, I left and to get lunch, taking some non railway pics on the way home. Yours, still wondering, omscaler
