Cass Street Railroad Bridge
I have never seen this bridge used by a train. It looks horrible, and the office theory is that is stuck in the up position. Then, I was on the Kennedy Street bridge, checking the river for flotsam, when I heard a train horn, and saw this bridge s-l-o-w-l-y raising back up. The train had come and gone, but here is proof that the bridge is not stuck in the up position.
…it is used 5-6 days a week by a very short
train – southbound around 5-6pm – northbound around 2-4am
