Spring Thaw on the East Fork

Let's follow the Eask Fork brook around the railroad.
-

The East Fork joins the railroad at the east end of the loop.
-

This is seasonal wetlands, and wet is in season now.
-

Is this snow, water, or ice? If you said yes, you are correct.
-

You can see why frost heaves are a problem on this part
of the line. - The water comes right up to the track.
-

Looking back.
-

Continuing -- the brook makes a bend at the northeast corner.
-

It then flows under this culvert.
-

It runs alongside the northern main line.
-

Same location looking west.
-

The brook flows under the foot bridge and turns north.
-

Here it is running north.
-

It then turns west toward the new tall trestle.
-

Approaching the tall trestle...
-

and flowing beneath it.
-

The brook from the bridge deck.

Downstream from the bridge.

Another view of the trestle and brook.
