Don't leave it too long @dougruss3 . we gotta keep the game moving. I, for one, am looking forward to what you come up with to challenge us.

Ok guys...I finally have my image for my challenge...so here goes. My challenge is an abandoned railroad bridge near a body of water.

I got railway bridges, I got water. But I ain't got abandoned railway bridges over water. Looks like I'm out for this one. Nice picture though.

Wow...no takers yet? Did I stump you guys? Lol.?

It’s the abandoned part for me. Lots of trestles over water here....but abandoned? Not so much. None that I’m aware of. Now old roadways, that’s different. I’ve been meaning to go shoot the Old Alton Bridge....or Goatman’s Bridge. Used to drive over it when I was in high school, but it’s bypassed now.

Thinking this might be a little hard for some...I will give it a few more days and then if no takers I will figure out another challenge.

Like @Fred Garvin , It's the abandoned bit. There used to be some abandoned bridges not far from me but they've been demolished long ago. Off the top of my head, I can't think of any abandoned railway bridges anywhere near me that are still standing.

As a child, I used to play on a derelict railway viaduct...we used to throw stones into the river a hundred feet or so below, but that one was demolished at around 1970.

@dougruss3
The rules are simple:

[2] The challenge MUST be reasonable. Keep in mind this forum spans the globe - so for instance I would not ask for a picture of a Saturn V Rocket (I'm right down the road from Cape Kennedy) - since there are only a few examples here and a couple other places in the states - this would be an unreasonable challenge. So, if you make a challenge that is difficult it will slow things down and we don't want that. Be Specific and Simple: A picture of a barn = GOOD, a picture of a barn with three cows and a red rooster = BAD.

Ok...I can change it up a bit...would an antique railroad bridge by a body of water work better? Any type of bridge as long as it is antique and any type of body of water..

I know that is doable. I posted a similar challenge a couple of pages ago asking for people to post a picture of an aqueduct/bridge carrying water over water and the picture I used was was of an aqueduct going over a reservoir. That aqueduct must have been well over a hundred years old.

I'm not gonna post that picture again to meet your challenge. Not yet anyway. Give others a chance

I don’t think you can use the same picture twice......???

Ty Pilot · Apr 4, 2019

No rule against using the same picture. There could be several elements in a single picture each of which could be used as a challenge so I never put that into the rules.

dougruss3 · Apr 5, 2019

But isn't an aquaduct different than a railroad bridge?

Ty Pilot · Apr 5, 2019

Yeah, I was just speaking to the thing Fred said, if a picture does not have rails for a train on a bridge, then I suspect it won't meet your challenge, but that is up to you.

On post #1311 @dougruss3 said "Ok...I can change it up a bit...would an antique railroad bridge by a body of water work better? Any type of bridge as long as it is antique and any type of body of water.. ". So an Aqueduct would be acceptable it seems.
