Mini Fake Photography


1983 photo of train coming around bend having just crossed Bridge #9 on the downgrade ready to enter the tunnel.  Taken by John P. Henderson




Where Bridge #36 used to cross the creek.  See original photo.




Looking on the down grade south of Bridge #36.  See the series of photos along with the orginal.



I was playing around with Mini Fake Photography on Photoshop and thought these turned out pretty cool.  They almost look like they are taken from a model layout.

Bridge #25



1985 photo showing Bridge #25 on the Mansfield Branch.  This was taken the same day as this photo on our family snowmobile ride along the line.  Photo was taken on the west side of the creek looking on the down grade.
