Re: Picture Posted by Charles W on June 5, 2009, 1:18 am, in reply to "Picture" 75.207.8.X Wow, would you look at that bridge!!! There aren't very many bridges with the concrete sides like that left around these days... I like how you were able to include it on your layout. Charles W.  Post a Response

Re: Picture Posted by Dan M on June 6, 2009, 7:51 am, in reply to "Re: Picture" 68.61.106.X I think those are called curved cord through girder bridges. They had one on Wadhams Rd. off of I-94 up until about three years ago. It was a narrow one. I think they built this style back in the 1920s. Real cool look. Thanks for sharing the photo!
