Bridge was built about 80 years ago. No cars in water at 6:00AM CST 2-20-04. News reports appear Centerflow car right behind locomotive leaking pellets. 3rd support leaning forward about 30 degrees.

That bridge looks like somebody went to the hobby shop, gathered up what plastic bridge parts they could find, and then built a bridge. "What? You don't have more than two of the same kind? Oh well, give me what you do have..."

Wow! Very interesting...I'm guessing each section was used in another location earlier in its life and then brought together to form a (budget-pleasing) patchwork-type bridge? Nice picture!
