Nice scenery, too bad it was spoiled by the rainbow bricks. Imagine how much better those scenes would have looked with something with some character in them, maybe an FEF-3, GS-4 a Challenger, even an SP&S Z-6 Challenger. Just MY OPINION.

....Beautiful photos....And that first set of bridges.....Weird. Very different than one usually sees. The one with the "double" structure is sure something a bit off the normal. Wonder what was the idea of such a design....?

That bridge is located just east of Wenatchee River and is the result of a bridge strenghthening program to increase weights across the structure. It has been that way for more years than I can remember is on the former GN east-west mainline with the Seattle section of the Empire Builder passing over it nightly in each direction.

.....Oh....Ok, that makes sense. I was wondering why such a design. But now learning that it's the result of a strengthening renovation, it's plainly understandable.
That must have been quite a job doing all that work, working over the water to accomplish it. Probably was done in such a manner that the bridge could have remained in service during the re-construction too. All that took some doing.
