[PRCo] Re: Dallas film on YouTube

[Ken and Tracie]

Speaking of Dallas, Fred, maybe you can help me with the following.

I was doing some "satellite roadbed chasing" of the Texas Electric. I found 
the general location of the Trinity River Viaduct, but I can't pinpoint the 
exact location.

Would you know where the bridge ends were located, i.e., closest street 
intersections?
