RI Ghostly reminder of the past on the Choctaw Route

On my way home from Maine and after stopping to see my granddaughter in Arkansas, I drove on US270, paralleling the ex-Rock Island Choctaw Route, when I saw this bridge:



SPanning the Little Fourche Maline Creek east of Wilburton, OK, this bridge carries the reminder of the long-gone CRI&P. The trac is now owned by the state of Oklahoma, and is leased to the Arkansas-Oklahoma RR, which runs between Red Oak and Oklahoma City, OK and switches the GM assembly plant in Okie City.

 

An invisible bridge.......?

I can see the picture fine here......

 

They did, but IIRC the AOK has that contract now, using rebuilt GE B23-7s painted red & yellow.

 

I think we caught this topic, when the server work was ongoing. Photos showing fine now.

That's good- for a minute, I thought y'all were trying to "gaslight" me
