just back after a bus trip to Onset Pier and to the annual scallop festival in Bourne and heard about the raising and lowering of this bridge - just had to Google it and came upon this video - just amazing! Thanks!
When I was a kid (about 10 years old), me and two friends hid on that train bridge, rode it as it was being raised and lowered, and watched a ship passing under. It was a lot higher than we imaged, scaring the heck out of all three of us. A gang of us also had a clubhouse in an abandoned mail station right next to the tracks within sight of the bridge (trains passed within a foot of the window to, years earlier, allow mail to be passed). Of course, all of this was some 40+ years ago.
what a contraption...

The ads on the video are the price he pays to use the audio, all you sanctimonious busybodies.

I used to go to that exact place and flatten pennies on the tracks after dinner when I was a kid.
