very cool, always love hearing stories about why the bridge was built, how long was it?

It goes over the red river, so probably 1000-1400'

You can see the cart path on the right hand side, it wasn't accessible, had alot of rotten wood on it.

It was a single lane bridge as well.

There used to be a bridge like that across the Coosa River about a mile below Stemley Bridge on Logan Martin. Story is very similar, originally a RR bridge in the late 1800's, then a one lane auto bridge once it was condemned for RR use. Tore it down in the early 60's when the Coosa was impounded to form Logan Martin.

RTR,

Beautiful picture. I'm a sucker for those sort of old bridges. There's something just timeless and classic about 'em.

There's a creepy one that looks similar out in the woods near DC .. Locals call it a "cry baby bridge", there's a lot of urban legends about it.
