Port re-opens Coos Bay Rail Bridge

[@allenra530]

One of the steam locomotives that used to work the port for Coos Bay Lumber is at the Pacific Southwest Railroad Museum in Campo, California, (San Diego County, east of San Diego in the mountains just north of the Mexican border. When I was a child, visiting my mother's parents and her sister's family in Port Orford, we were up in Coos and I saw that locomotive switching the dockside line for the mill. Obviously, that was many years ago.

The dude in the camo bibs and orange shirt need to put his arms down. He walks with them out like he's some hugely built stud.

[@Lockemeister]

Got a low budget there? How about scraping the rust off the trusses and repainting it to look nice?

[@kman-mi7su]

How old is that bridge? We have bridges where I live in Washington DC that Amtrak and CSX use that are over 100 or more years old.

[@onrr1726]
