[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by jhhtrainsplanes Now that the "Story" [;)] is over we can get back to talking about trains. [:)] Sunday afternoon I noticed the Bearing Cross Railroad Bridge going up. It links Little Rock to North Little Rock and is double tracked. I took several pics of the liftspan in the up position. I noticed that when the bridge was up there seemed to be something blocking the tracks. I believe it was a weight that lowers as the bridge goes up but I am not sure about that. However it did appear that it would block the tracks and prevent a train from falling into the river. I have heard the term -- smashboard. Is this a smashboard in the true sense of the word or just accidentally a smashboard? [?] [/quote] Now come on people, Nora deserves better treatement than this. I found her thread on page 16. [:(] Now get with the topic and ask and answer some question. [;)] Now back to questions and answers, and other related info. [^] I just posted a second photo of the Bearing Cross Railroad Bridge in the raised position. I will post two links here, one in the down position and one in the up position. Now we can compare them and notice the counterweights blocking the trains path in the "raised" position. http://naphotos.nerail.org/showpic/?2004100322100032262.jpg http://naphotos.nerail.org/showpic/?200412051232393623.jpg
