John Rivers Road is located at MP H231.4 How to get there: This shot was taken at the John Rivers road crossing. To access this site turn west from US 41 at the 4.5 mile marker on John Rivers Road and proceed some 4/10s mile to the tracks. This is an excellent afternoon shooting location and is one of the few Henderson Sub locations where you can back off and get a shot of the whole consist or even the whole train. |
