Bridges fascinate me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wrote about them in a book in 2007.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kris Sabbatino has called me a ‘Bridge Goob’ (which translates to ‘rabid bridge enthusiast’.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trusses are my favorite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of all the trusses, I think I like the Whipple Truss the best. But these have become exceedingly rare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier this week, I joined Conway Scenic’s bridge inspector Wayne Duffett on the annual inspection of the bridges on our Conway Branch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We traveled in a company HyRail truck from Conway to North Conway and Wayne inspected all the bridges and culverts on the line. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I made several hundred photos to document the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
