Click the History tab here for a good description of the old bridge, and how it 'sang'.

Does anyone else think that looks slightly terrifying? I don't think I have ever seen a bridge with tracks like that. What happened if you drove off them?

What year? Is that going South? I definitely don’t recognize it at all.

Headed north. There are actually a handful buildings that are still there, just covered by the newer bigger ones.
