Hi One of the books in my railroad library is called The Beauty of Railroad Bridges, in North America by Richard J. Cook. by Golden West Books. I have the third printing the book has a lot of photos, and describes, the different types of railroad bridges in the book. I am not sure if the book is still in print or not, Pat. |

And here in Maine where I live, the old Back Cove railroad swing bridge is about to be torn down. Too bad as my understanding is there aren't a lot of this type of bridge left standing. https://wjbq.com/a-short-history-of-the ... otosvideo/ https://standardnews.com/youll-never-be ... dge-maine/ https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/maine/a ... owhere-me/ Yeah, you read it right. That's the B&M baked bean factory in the background.

And Boston has it's own swing bridge at the Fort Point channel. For 10 years I crossed this bridge on my way to work. It was funny as a pedestrian that on the rare occasion when the workers who manned the bridge went on strike they would leave it in the open position so no cars could cross, leading to a real mess in an already congested area. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Avenue_Bridge https://www.bostonmagazine.com/property ... ve-bridge/ https://www.universalhub.com/2016/and-j ... demolished |
