It's not ideal but at least the there's enough cleared that you can
stand near the south end of the truss-bridge and get the signal bridge
and a hint of a long s-curve. My first trip up there was just after the
Railnews article on the Bridges of Macon City and it was pretty grown
over, later that fall, or was it the next year a selective thinning had
occurred that wide the "shooting lane" looking east from the bridge.
When I commented on that pruning job there were some people in the
living room who looked upon that little forestry job with the same pride
of a good digital scan. The shot at Rutledge (east of Kirksville) needs
some of that same treat, plus a power line pruning. I'm not sure who
really did the selective tree harvest but since NIKON doesn't make chain
saws think there isn't enough circumstantial evidence to convict.
