ClackamasRiverBridge

The Portland Traction bridge over the Clackamas River, 40-odd years after the last train went by.

There was one like that across the lower Don in Toronto for something like 80 years after they last used it; the road redesign in the 20s removed the tracks that fed it. It stayed there until last year sometime, when the big CN track replacement project moved a lot of things around.

Looks like it was exactly the same design, right down to the pipe on the side.
