This isn't a spectacular photo, but the trestle has some sentimental value to me and I thought someone might enjoy it.

Interesting way they dip the road to give extra height room.

Yes, it is easier to put dip in road than to raise track, because cars and trucks can handle up/down grade much better than train can. Often highway department will eliminate abandoned underpass just to eliminate the 'dip'
