Beautifull bridge in the South (Brazil)
Author: pedrop

The beautifull bridge over Pelotas river in the border of Rio Grande do Sul (RS) and Santa Catarina (SC) states in the south of Brazil. It belongs to the TPS narrow gauge line operated by Rumo railroad. This line was built by Brazilian Army in the 1970's. 
Picture from "Aventureiros do TPS".

I never seen a bridge design quite like this.  It's very interesting for sure.

You have earthquakes in Brazil?

I think the particularly distinctive aspect of it is that there's no tapering in the thickness of the members from bottom to top. Very unusual.
