[quote user="blue streak 1"]Bascule ? Anyone know when it was deactivated as a draw ?[/quote] The bridge is a Strauss Heel Trunion bascule bridge. Differences to other types are shown here: <a href="http://www.nmra.org/sites/default/files/d6e3.pdf">www.nmra.org/sites/default/files/d6e3.pdf</a> In 33CFR117 of 2003 the Altahama River is still listed as navigable water.

(a) The draws of all bridges, except the Seaboard System Railroad bridge, mile 59.4 at Doctortown, shall open on signal if at least 24 hours notice is given. (b) The draw of the Seaboard System Railroad bridge, mile 59.4 at Doctortown, shall open on signal if at least seven days notice is given.</pre> End of Quote (b) refers to the bridge in question. All others are abandoned according to a web search. Regards, Volker
