 | Looking a little lost and displaced, the center section of the Johnson Street rail bridge sits in a parking lot at the edge of the Gorge with the Bay Street Bridge in the background. It was cut loose and lifted onto a barge by the enormous marine crane that can be seen to the left. It now sits on a part of the Point Hope shipyard and I suspect it will be cut into smaller pieces there. A new bridge is to be erected adjacent to the site of the old bridge, which is still being used for car traffic. |
*sniff* The end of an era...
ReplyDeleteI can't say that I was attached to Big Blue. However, I like the suggestions that I've seen in the blogosphere that it should be used to make some sort of commemorative sculpture(s) to mark its history.
ReplyDeleteI was wondering if you were going to get a shot of this. It looks so sad sitting there by itself doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteI was also wondering if you would feature her. I've got my own post scheduled for next week, with a picture I took on the last visit.
ReplyDeleteHeartbreaking!
