Railway Bridge

 

November 17, 2005

This is *not* the bridge from two days ago.

Update: Yeah, it's a giant counter-balance used for raising the bridge up and down when the boats come. Still, it felt a heck of a lot safer than that other bridge.

Any idea what the "bucket" is for? It seems really strange to have some kind of train-loading-infrastructure on a bridge. Especially one that doesn't look high enough for boats (that might be carrying cargo to be transferred) to pass under.

Sorry about the terrible grammar.

What a cool looking structure. SO many odd things about this, that I have never seen. Great find.

cool picture. ive seen a few bridges like this around here. the big counter weight is, i think, for raising the entire bridge up for boats to pass underneath. always scary though when that big weight is all rusty and not at all secure looking.

Certainly a huge an interesting structure with lots of rust! Amazing that a lot of it hasn't been broken up and recycled.

Is anyone else seeing a little bare foot boy in blue overalls and no shirt with a stick with a handkerchief holding food/clothes walking over that bridge with a yellow dog at his heels?

I love the background, though I don't think the bridge is all that cool.

I love railroad shots. It's beautiful. Where was that taken, if you don't mind me asking.

i'm w/katieb on this one... love the willows in the background, but not too keen on the bridge itself. (sorry, kendall...it's a good pic, but i'm just not into bridges today).
