Description
Norfolk Southern intermodal train crosses over the massive Well's Viaduct in Toccoa, Ga. The bridge is over 1500 feet long and 200 feet high at it's tallest. It's the highest bridge on the NS main line between Washington, DC and Atlanta. It was built by Southern Railway in 1919.
This is a Charleston, SC to Atlanta, Ga. daily train. The irony is that it passes by where I live in Columbia, SC by about ten miles, but I drove 150 miles to get this shot. Well worth it, of course!
It should be noted that the land I am standing in is for sale. So this view could be in the backyard of your dream home one day!
