   Train crossing BNSF - Verdigris River Bridge   

→ Last stop today was for a train.  I've driven past this bridge for over 20 years, but never been close to it.

→ I hiked from Rogers Point Park, which is along the Veridris River/McClellan-Kerr Canal and accessed from Hwy 66.

→ Found a trail that went under the 66 bridges, found a clear path to the train tracks (no fences but a little bit of a climb), and ended up very close to the south end of the bridge.  Waited about 20 minutes.

→ When the train finally came, everything was fine, until it stopped.  1/2 the train on my side; 1/2 on the other side.  Waited and waited.  Nothing.  So I went back down the other side of the train tracks back to the river, took a bunch of pics from that lower angle, and headed back to my truck.

→ Then the train started to move again.  This will explain the two different camera angles on the video!
