Which Norfolk bridge is this?

[NW Mailing List]

Mike - 

I don't recall exactly when Bridge 5A was built, but IIRC it was utilized primarily, if not exclusively, by passenger trains. 5A is no longer in use, but can be pressed into service should Bridge 5 experience a failure or need to be taken out of service. There are tracks leading from either end of the bridge right up to the mainline where a temporary switch could be installed.

Thanks for the info on this picture. Can somebody tell me what is the story on bridge 5-A? When was it added? Is that the one that appears to be in the permanent "up" position and no longer used?
