Wow, that's really nice to see, for so many modeling reasons and just for the fun of it. Thanks, Rufus!

I agree with Murph.
Different types of piers, wooden walkway with hand rail and passing over a creek/river and railroad tracks.

That trestle is a killer. What a beautiful structure. Looks like the telephone pole on the left is bent or just an illusion due to the angle?

It is an impressive structure and array of varying details.

Yup! That pole has a bit of dog's hind leg in it - not uncommon back then since solid and upright and "good enough" was got the job done.

I'm even more impressed with the three legged horse in that matched team.

:o That's got to be an illusion, due to angle of view, no? :shock:

Speaking of that pole, where do the wires headed toward the bridge go? The next support for them is not obvious.
You begin flying with a full bag of luck and an empty bag for experience. The object is to fill the bag of experience before you empty the bag of luck.

I think just a bit of the right front does show around the back of the hoof.

Not headed towards the bridge at all - just something that got caught in the forefront of that post card photo - going left to right off out of sight to the right
