Devils Elbow Railroad Bridge
Tony, this bridge is on the US Army Railroad. While I am not a veteran of the armed services I do work for The Department of Defence and if I have learned nothing else I have learned this. The army will paint anything that will hold still long enough and somethings that will not hold still !
