A Train Trestle in Rowlett Texas
Back in August, I went on a short road trip out toward Quinlan, Texas looking for rural decay and anything that needed to be photographed.
Instead of taking my normal route out of town, I went down Miller Road instead of going down Hwy 66. While crossing the bridge over Lake Ray Hubbard, I saw a train trestle crossing the lake. 
When I first saw the train trestle going across the late, I realized this trestle would be a great a place to shoot. Unfortunately, shooting the trestle from across the late wasn’t possible at the time. The only to shoot the trestle was from the busy bridge on Miller Road. Eventually I will go back during a better time shoot the bridge.
Getting to the Train Trestle over Lake Ray Hubbard
Getting the trestle isn’t to hard. But as you can see it’s a long walk to trestle from the road. It’s not the safest way to get the trestle and their isn’t much room tracks and five to ten feet drop if you have to get off the tracks fast. But the easiest way to get to bridge is by getting their by boat/canoe and find a game trail up to the trestle.
