While we were waiting to get in and attend Piratefest, the late afternoon sun made for a beautiful shot from the Convention Center of the Ft. Wayne RR Bridge. The upper deck has two tracks used by Amtrak and Norfolk Southern and the lower deck remains unused now for many, many years.
In this city of 446 bridges, I find it interesting to learn the history behind them. This bridge, also knows as Bridge No. 1 and is over 100 years old. Built between 1901 and 1904 by the American Bridge Company. It replaced the 1868 Bridge and is the 5th bridge in this general area.
While we had a beautiful day here in Pittsburgh, my heart goes out to all the families affected by the tragedy in Newtown, CT. May you find comfort in this most terrible time. Our prayers are with you.
Death leaves a heartache no one can heal. Love leaves a memory no one can steal.
