Bedford Belt Railroad Trestle

[Tim T Swan]

Is this discussion still about the Bedford Belt trestle over the MONON main?  If so, here is a 1967 shot of it.  There is also a 1950's shot of it in the Dolzall book.  I've also modeled it in HO scale.

 No, it started out as trying to identify a location on the belt other than a known location having a trestle.   The first photo posted is of a trestle back in Dark Hollow that was removed by 1907.   It's in the misc. category because of being belt only....except for competing with the MONON at Dark Hollow for a few years.

George, a few weeks ago while I was in NC you asked me to post some maps and photos out of that Fourth Quarter 2001 issue of the Milwaukee Railroader that I have.  Here are a few.

Tim,

Thanks for posting these.  I was able to purchase a copy of this issue of the Milwaukee magazine and read the article.  Bedford was a busy railroad town.

This is a link to an article about the possibility of moving the Bedford MILW station.

Bedford news ran an article saying that the idea to move the depot has been cancelled.  The depot is in too bad of shape.
