Hi. My name is Serge and I am an artist working on a project about railroads. iIt's a project that I hope to exhibit in museums and galleries but I am doing it in part for my father who is a rail buff/enthusiast.
I live in Tucson, Arizona and I am looking for abandoned railroad bridges that no longer have track running across them. The bridges could ford a gap as small as 5-10 feet or could be much wider. The idea is that there is the clear structure of a bridge but no railroad running across it. I would like to photograph these scenes from the side (in other words, not looking down the track, but standing at a right angle to the track). I know there are several instances of this on the Ash Fork-Crookton line up in Northern, AZ which I may eventually visit, but I wanted to see if anyone knew of such sites somewhere within a 100 mile radius of Tucson?
Any specific advice would be appreciated. If my question is unclear or if you know of better terminology I could use, please advise. If there is a better place to post this on the railroad.net forums, please advise. If there is a better forum to post on, please advise. Any references to reading on this subject or information about the abandoned lines would also be great to have.
Thank you in advance for your generous time.
Sincerely,
Serge J-F. Levy
