| Y250, the Yeoman Yard to old Port Tampa local with GP39-2 CSXT 4301 as the sole power is about to cross over the Hillsborough River on the bascule bridge built by the ACL in 1915. The bridgetender is showing the "green flag" which means the bridge is down and lined and locked for movement. Another bridgetender stands in the door to the tenders house. This bridge once saw dozens of movements a day but now sees just 1 movement a day and is only manned as necessary. The signal in the distance is not a railroad signal, it is a traffic light, as the line to Port Tampa goes right through downtown Tampa and there is a short stretch of street running involved. |
