Iron Horse is a walking trail and pedestrian bridge near me. The trail
crosses the boundaries of several cities because it replaced the old train
tracks that were once there. Ironically, I used to walk those tracks, while
still tracks, in my twenties with my female roommate.

The bridge is sort of futuristic looking or like an airplane or spaceship.
It is also not symmetrical, which the photo may or may not show. It dips a
bit on one side with a curve.

I made it B to make it more dramatic. I may do a GESO later.

Comments welcome.

I am going to try more B this coming year and I need to do B

something. Will try your suggestions.
