Reply to "BRIDGES...let's see the bridges on your layout...and some real ones too, for reference...."

OK - one I found in some old family snapshots, just this summer. Not a good closeup, but, here you go: 

1938, Mobile, in a river named "Chickasabogue", which is French-ified Choctaw/etc. meaning "water of the Chickasaws". It flows into the Mobile River just above the harbor area (out of sight to the right).

That's the Louisville and Nashville (now CSX) swing bridge over the mouth of Chickasabogue. It's still there, and still used. 

The outboard motor is probably collectible, now.
