[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Cheviot Hill The bridges age. I think it was built in the 1870"s. Most bridges this old have been torn down long ago. Engineers think the steel won't hold up much longer to the heavy loads that cars put on it. The railroad side of the bridge is in a lot better shape. Heavier steel. There used to be a street car line running on the outside of the bridge on the western side. Go to [url="mailto:"]http://www.k8dti.com [/url]go to the links section and click on Cincinnati Transit. You"ll see the bridge in old and new pictures. [/quote] Thanks, the link was VERY interesting. Couple questions: Looking here: http://www.cincinnati-transit.net/zbrentspence21.jpg there appear to be 3 bridges. The I-75 bridge, the C&O bridge, and the Clay Wade Bailey... On that nearest bridge, at approximate center span (above the staduim) appears to be an enclosure, or tent. Is that a paint project in progress? When was the last time the Cincinnati Southern bridge was painted? looks good compared to the CSX bridge on the left here http://www.cincinnati-transit.net/zclaywade11.jpg (somethings never change).. Thanks again for the link
