I think I saw a couple of these when the History Channel did Underground Portland in their Cities of the Underworld awhile back. Didn't know Portland had such a dark past. :) Judy Great photos!

You might be interested to know that in Baton Rouge, LA, Huey Long built the rail/car bridge that carries Rt. 190 low enough (on purpose!) that Baton Rouge would then become the last deep-water seaport on the Mississippi River. No ocean-going ships could pass under it. The old rascal! I also enjoyed the tour.

Thank you! I've been trying to learn the bridges as they are generally unmarked (or marked so obscurely that I can't see it as I drive on them) and people use them to give directions. But you may have actually helped me learn them finally! This is wonderful! Thank you!
