Ya. I've been cutting back only to when I'm extremely bored. Railfanning the HMCR hasn't been much of a success either.

Do you take notes on which crossings you've seen and posted from GSV, so you don't post the same ones more than once?

That's actually a good idea. I should start doing that.

Looks like it was used to store a caboose or something on display, if you go up to where the tracks diverge off, a portion of the line is used for hopper storage.

This one's in University City, Missouri where it spurs off the Central Midland Railroad.

The line has since turned into another trail, because of this the trestle still hangs over this freeway-like road carrying people.

After this it connects to a transit line and is active again. I'm out on summer vacation so I too have time on my hands.
SIDE NOTE: Does anyone else notice the closed eye face is on here twice? It's labeled as "Closed Eyes" and "Sleep" :LOL3:
