Apalachicola River Railroad Swing Bridge (Part 1) by soboy5

Apalachicola River Railroad Swing Bridge (Part 1)

Located in a remote area just north of Apalachicola is this rusty railroad bridge with a center section that swings open to allow tall ships to pass. Here is a link to the aerial view of the bridge, showing the center section in its open position: http://marinas.com/view/bridge/119_Apalachicola_Northern_Railroad_Swing_Bridge_FL_United_States

The contrast between the pristine wilderness and the rust-covered bridge was palpable. Even more so when I found out this bridge is not abandoned, but is in use by the railroad. If you would like to see my image of the movable center section of the bridge in its open position, let me know and I will post it tomorrow.
Fantastic clarity!!

A fine bridge Danny. I like rail bridges and just about anything railroad! So I'd be glad tot see the centre opening section. Thanks for the link too - not much habitation around there but I guess the line has to run through very quiet areas to get between the noisy ones!

Such a stunning scene and more fun to know that it's an active swinging bridge. What a feat of engineering.
