Photo O' The Day, 11/25/16

I just looked at todays "Photo of.." and it's a magnificent shot of the P&LE Ohio River bridge at Beaver City PA.  It got me thinking, here's a structure that was up and earning its keep while the "Titanic" was still on the ways under construction.  Here we are 100+ years later and that bridge is still there doing what it was meant to do.  Truly a monument to the men who designed it and even more to the men who built it.  You'd need a hell of a lot more guts to be climbing around on that high iron than I've got, let me tell you!

And it looks good too!  Massive, solid, and permanent, like it was part of the landscape and always will be.

Hard to beat a cantilever bridge...massive and graceful at the same time....check the newest comments on the  "String Lining" thread in the Trains General Discussion for great piks of the infamous Quebec bridge, another cantilever.
