The Last Train
This photo was taken on January 5, 2023, the day before the railway bridge fell at Old Telegraph Road and C Street. Fillmore resident Christopher Reilley took the photo. “It rained even harder that night. It [the train] was blaring its horns so we came down to the tracks to see, maybe he detected it was about to fall. We live nearby and could see the river getting larger and larger. Eventually the split in the river became one by the bridge.” Photo credit Christopher Reilley. Inset is the collapsed railway tracks taken shortly after Mr. Reilley captured the last train to cross over Sespe Creek. Inset photo credit Angel Esquivel.
