Today's Photo
On the late afternoon of September 12, 2009, an eastbound BNSF stack train crosses the former NP bridge over Lake Pend Oreille approaching Sandpoint, Idaho. The head end is crossing a section where new pilings and bridge deck were installed in 2008. The project is now under way at the opposite end of the nearly 4800-foot long bridge, where the blue crane can be seen.
