Sorry, Kevin ... I guess we did stray a bit!
I think I heard about that bridge fire on the news a while back. Wasn't there talk that it might not have started from "natural" causes? Have they found out any more about that?
But all that about the bridge design being "insufficient to safely handle the weight of the locomotives currently used" ... just how long had the "locomotives currently used" been traversing that bridge, and how many of those self-same locomotves have fallen to the dry river bed below due to the "insufficiency" of the bridge design?
Just wondering if we're headed for another abandoned line ... due to the cost to restore the bridge to operating condition!
