Burlington, Iowa
In the summer of 2017, I followed the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad across Iowa. So to begin with here, we see the bridge of the CB&Q over the Mississippi River at Burlington, Iowa. The photographer is looking eastward toward Illinois.
Why do I post this image today? Speaking with a buddy of mine this afternoon, he related a story where he stayed at the Aldo Leopold House in Burlington. This got me looking for an image of the bridge, which made me realize that I must have been standing in the yard of the historic home, or adjacent to it, when taking this picture.
The original version of the bridge was built in 1868 as a single-track swing bridge. Later, in 1893, it was double tracked and turned into the lift-bridge you see here—though altered and strengthened in the 1930s. Not a great picture as you can’t see the lift span.

The new Pamban Bridge in Tamil Nadu, is India's first vertical lift railway sea bridge, replacing the iconic old Pamban bridge which opened in 1914. The old bridge played an important role in connecting the Pamban Island with mainland India. ತಮಿಳುನಾಡಿನ ರಾಮೇಶ್ವರಂನಲ್ಲಿರುವ ಹೊಸ ಪಂಬನ್ ಸೇತುವೆ ಭಾರತದ ಮೊದಲ ವರ್ಟಿಕಲ್ ಲಿಫ್ಟ್ ರೈಲ್ವೆ ಸಮುದ್ರ ಸೇತುವೆಯಾಗಿದೆ. ಇದು 2 ಕಿಲೋಮೀಟರ್ ಉದ್ದದ ಸೇತುವೆಯಾಗಿದೆ. .

The Lift Bridge in Stillwater, Minnesota is one of my favorites. The lights on the bridge, the city lights in the night and their reflection in the water. Light has always been fascinating to capture for me.

View of the Main Street Liftbridge
There are few things better to do in Brockport, New York than walking the Erie Canal Pathway as it goes through the historic town. Here we are looking at the Main Street Liftbridge towards the South and downtown. All along the Canal Pathway are Honey Locust trees, flowers and benches to sit on and enjoy the views.

Wendy Anne
Following my previous post, the Wendy Anne quickly followed the Beaver Island Ferry into the channel at Charlevoix, Michigan. This handsome little ship was also built in 1955; one can see some information on it here. It’s also come from Beaver Island as we see the markings on the barge it is towing from there.
The lift bridge one sees in the final image, the US31-Island Lake Outlet Bridge, is interesting as well—is is a double-leaf bascule type. It first opened for service in the summer of 1949. One can read all about it here.
