Camp Creek bridge was located at MP 77.66 or about one mile east of the depot as you mentioned. In 1966 or there abouts, that bridge burned under the following scenario. A westbound freight had stopped just east of New Truxton when the crew noticed smoke about 30 cars behind the engine. The head brakeman walked back and found a car with a blazing hot box sitting smack dab in the middle of the bridge. He quickly uncoupled the burning car and attempted to pull it off the bridge. As he turned to give a go ahead signal to the engineer, he was looking right in the face of said engineer who had decided to walk over and see what was going on. Needless to say, before the fat little engineer could retreat to his cab, the bridge was on fire and subsequently lost. Several of the cars that fell into the chasim are still there to this day or at least were there until the end of the line in the 1980s. The farmer who owned the land had dragged some of the cars out of the creek and used them as storage or something. I remember one of the cars was loaded with the long floresent tube lightbulbs. The nosey engineer never lived down this embarrassing story and of course the CB&Q never heard this rendition either. The bridgedeck had to be rebuil resulting in the High Line being out of service for quite a while. Now I will never admit I said all this if some trainmaster comes knocking on my door. I sure miss the old High Line. Archie
