Boxcar used as bridge
Posted by Lyon_Wonder on Tuesday, March 5, 2013 4:24 PM

An old boxcar in Rock Island County in IL has been turned into a bridge.  The boxcar appears to be a 40' with wooden sides and a truss frame.

Cool. I've seen flatcars used in Michigan but not a boxcar.

A covered Bridge?

Never too old to have a happy childhood!
