Shar-Cal Road Bridge
Posted July 13, 2016, by Mark gifford (Markgifford81 [at] gmail [dot] com)

Is this referring to the railroad bridge or the car traffic bridge? In either case this infomation is inaccurate.No bridge goes over the railroad. Both are currently closed, though not at the time of this post, do to flood damage.Both have been refitted after the date posted.
