Correct me if I'm wrong, but I seem to remember that at some point in the past 15 years, a flood washed out the fill on the south end of the bridge. Hence the difference in the photos and the need for a temporary bridge to span the gap during the equipment removal operation.

I hate to see it out in the weather, but Earl's right, the train sure looks sharp displayed on the bridge. I'm glad I got the opportunity to see it.

$.02,
