Union Pacific Railroad Bridge
Posted September 23, 2015, by Jason Hann (geighcun [at] hotmail [dot] com)

Photos taken Sept. 16th 2015.

There is visible damage to the concrete on the south-east end of the bridge where it sits on the abutment, and to the concrete railings on that end. Otherwise it seems to be in great condition.
