The Igloo bridge crosses the double main of the BNSF. Wide-open vistas and the roar of trains underneath make this a great spot to visit. There is little vehicle traffic on the bridge, so you can easily park next to the bridge. |
A great location for photos of the whole train is on Fiddle Creek Rd. south of Edgemont. |
