Default Old Railroad Bridge

Well the trains no longer run. But at least the bridge has been saved by making it a part of a rails to trails. they sure don't build them like this anymore, this was built in the 1890's

Nice shot from down below Any ice building up near the factory yet? We are just getting ice on the river now. Well, it might be gone after yesterdays temps, but there was quite a bit the day before.

Thank you Marie and Karina. Not to much ice yet, seems like everytime it starts to form the weather warms up Just as an aside, Before the made that a rails to trails. My son and his friends used to jump off that bridge into the river, one of them actually jumped from the very top, Glad I didn't know this at the time they were doing it It is one long way down.
Here's one I took a few years back, but you can get a little sense of the height
