Could this be the end...?

This railroad overpass in Visalia:

Is about to be replaced with a much larger, 5 lane vehicle overpass:

Mineral King avenue is immediately north, and Noble Ave is immediately south of where all this dirt is about to be piled up for a huge overpass. They may not be around much longer...

The bridge will be removed but wrong bridge in the Google map. Here's the correct one.

I wish I could get a hold of the Santa Fe mounted on the bridge.

In the picture, it looks like some rail has already been lifted:

The rails were removed when the line was abandoned back in 1993. Since then, people have been using the bridge as an unofficial pedestrain bridge. The bridge that you had shown in your original post is of SJVR's line to Exeter. That bridge is still in service.

Oops. Confused the two. Having another middle-aged moment I guess.

Thanks for the clairification.
