trisonic Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Where is it, Tim? The hills look man-made i.e. "enviromentalized" trash heaps of major city......... Β Oops, found it! Wishek, ND. I searched the area and whilst trackage does cross lakes - not in the way pictured above (that I could find)....... Β Best, Pete Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

trisonic Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Yes, that lake is not marked on the "Map" section. I'd forgotten how far out from the townships (out there) the boundary's often are! Thanks. Β best, Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Holmes Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 The water level is probably artificailly high due to the flooding they had out in North and South Dakota this year Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Ray Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Pete, Man, I'm rather disappointed in you - if it's railroad causeways cutting thru the middle of American waterways you want, how could you forget the Oak Point Connector in Da Bronx, New York no less? Also plenty of good causeways examples 'in the swamps of Jersey'*, and along the Hudson River (including this image on Bing where Metro-North hasn't finished putting its Bachmann E-Z track together ) Β Β *Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey !

trisonic Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Sir Ray, Yes, the waters look almost inviting - and that is why I thought the original photo in this thread was of a huge trash dump that had been "greened"!!!!!!!
