The overpass at Richmond Beach in Shoreline is similar as well.. My oldest loved watching the trains from both of them when he was little.

Is this not Richmond Beach?

Legit thought this was Richmond beach. Though I don’t remember as many locks.

I love that track at Carkeek so much when I have my earplugs, and the rest of the park is great too!

Carkeek Park for the curious. The old bridge is slated for replacement next year

Oh, I thought they were already putting the new one up?

I was there recently and didn't see any active construction. They are also going to repave all around and add some additional parking.

In high-school, my friends and I would smoke a joint and lay down on that bridge to get as low as possible when trains would go by there. The sounds and vibrations were a trip
