The easternmost bridge
http://terraserver.microsoft.com/image.aspx?T=4&S=10&Z=16&X=1998&Y=16998&W
is the CSX (L&N) mainline heading east to Montgomery and Pensacola.

Next is the former BN (AT&N, SLSF) bridge

on the former route north to Aliceville, and then Memphis. Almost all of the AT&N is gone.

This is the NS (southern) bridge

to Selma and Birmingham.

A little further west is the CN (ICG, GM&O) bridge

running north to Jackson, MS.
