Joe Hill General Is this thing still in use? I feel sorry for any engineer that has to go out on that tetanus shot accident waiting to happen! 2/4/2008 5:00:24 PM
IC 9224 General As solid as the day it was built. Just because there is no paint doesn't make it in bad shape. 2/4/2008 8:36:26 PM
Doug Wolfe General Great photo of a classic bridge. 1/3/2009 5:22:29 PM

David Larrabee General Sure would love to see it dance!! /DL 6/23/2010 11:01:04 PM
Jim Dodds General Neat shot! It does look sort of unmaintained without the paint, but otherwise appears in very good shape, as you already mentioned. Great shot! Seen on the homepage! :) 4/19/2011 1:43:50 AM
Switchman Images General For as big as those trains are into the GP mill, that looks SHOT!!! Sure a long hike through snake infested woods, too!!! 5/31/2011 1:03:56 AM

David Krebs General Nice shot. Homepage 4/23/2023 4/23/2023 6:46:39 PM
Tom Beckett General Interesting how railroads built these movable bridges over waterways that could not have handled craft large enough to require the structure to be turned, though maybe it was different then. Home page 02-12-2024 2/12/2024 3:43:42 AM
