Thanks for the great comments. I really like it when an opportunity like this presents itself to tell a story with pictures. I am glad folks enjoyed the series.

Really enjoyed the photo series; but you know that the signal bridge is a regular bridge and not a cantilever. Very glad to see that it's still in existence.

Thanks for the correction. I really appreciate the information.
