Essentially the Only One

Swing bridge

A swing railway bridge at Sabula, Iowa. Taken at the beginning of this month's vacation.

I dithered a while hoping it would open, but there was little river traffic, so I left it. The holiday came and went, but on the final day of our journey, just outside of Louisiana, Missouri, I came across this opened bridge of the same design. Not the best view, but there was a satisfying symmetry nonetheless.

Those things have always fascinated me. Don't even know if we have any in Texas.

Cool. Most of our railroad bridges over major waterways in Arkansas raise and lower, rather than swing.

I like bridges.
