Q194 crosses the Oconee River trestle

Northbound train Q194 crosses the Oconee River trestle, which is located at the end of Vaughn Road in Athens,GA at SG 510.80 on the Abbeville subdivision. Power was CSX C40-8W 7838 and CSX AC6000CW 661.
The AC60's traction motors can be heard screaming for over a minute before the train enters the scene. Sorry for the total exposure blowout as the train enters the scene, does anyone know a way to lock the exposure on a Canon video camera?

Thanks! To get to the bridge from Bogart, coming into Athens on the loop get off at the Tallahassee Road exit,which is right before you get to Fowler Junction. Take a left and continue on Tallahasee over the CSX tracks, and then a little further on take a left on Vaughn Road, you will cross the tracks at grade but continue to the end of the road and park,you will then have to walk a few feet to the bridge. Its a nice location,very quite but its a tight spot,cant get too far back from the bridge.

Nice video, I have been to this bridge before, I thought it would make a nice place to fish and watch the train pass by.

Can you give me directions to get to this bridge? Is there a crossing nearby? This looks like a really great spot. Awesome video!
