CSX Railroad vs. CSX Transportation
Posted April 17, 2012

So, after all these years of it going back and forth, we have came to a consensus that we are going to go with CSX Railroad right? I went initially with CSX Transportation due to the insistence of HH, but after Calvin's research, from now on I'll call it CSX Railroad. He's a very prominent TV news anchor in our area, and I'm confident with his connections, they wouldn't steer him wrong.

Well, like Tony, I don't think I'll be visiting it often, but I bet it'll get a lot of listings fast since there's so many of the dang things...lol

J.P., I've posted several of this type myself. There used to be quite a few in the tri-state area, but slowly but surely, they're disappearing. Better we get them now than shoulda, woulda, coulda a few years from now.

If you can, will you tell me exactly on the map where this bridge is or give me the coordinates to it. The area that's pinpointed is wrong I'm relatively sure. Thanks in advance.

Nathan,

I've updated the design to curved chord through girder. I'm off work Thursday, so even though it's a pretty good ride from where I live, I believe I'm going to go ahead and make the trip to get pictures for it. Thanks for the info on the design.
