A large and handsome oil painting
representing the rare scene ut Dale
creek bridge, u. p. road, is on exhibit
tion in the Office of the Railroad house.
The view is taken from a point some
distance to the southwest Of the bridge
and shows off its structure and the
canon to splendid advantage. A pas
senger train is seen entering upon the
structure from the west, and the cars
and two locomotives look very natural.
The sketch for the scene was taken on
the spot during last summer, and it
therefore appears at Its best, clothed
with bright verdure. Railroad men
who have travelled the bridge constantly
pronounce the painting to be very
faithful. The work was done by Miss
S. l.. Monroe, a home artist of much
talent.
