That's mighty nice looking.

It does kindof have that 'old' look to it with the wood planks. Then again, it must be a new one with the steel girders.
Hmmm. Can't make up my mind. Keep playin' Curtis, you'll get it right, soon.
lololol
Another bridge suits me fine, too. Very nice BTW.

Thanks, you two

New eh? The prototype was built in 1877. It was moved once, and finally destroyed in a flood in 1950.
Here's a plan of a similar bridge; the plan is dated 1851. |:P

And, a photo of the prototype; dated ~1883:

I've taken down a couple of bridges like that, but most (especially over the railroads) were the square type (Warren?) all built in the late 1800's. Down in Tioga they had one similar to that on the river that they moved over a half mile to Bayer Creek in the early 1900's. I'd like to have seen that! No pictures and no one's around any more that remembers it as to whether it was piece by piece or a whole shot deal.
