Tide Creek is not really a town, it's a creek. However, if you mention Tide Creek to just about anyone from the area, they will think of the place where the railroad and Highway 30 cross Tide Creek and the highway intersects Tide Creek Road. Old Highway 30 closely followed the railroad grade here, and intersects with the road crossing the tracks just to the right of the photograph. The current Highway 30 crosses over Tide Creek on a large concrete viaduct, also to the right of the photo, keeping the highway fairly level. I waited for the train here, just because I thought it would be a photogenic location. The small wooden trestle over Tide Creek might date from the 1880s.
