c. 1973 a vain attempt was made to blow up the old Amsterdam bridge. Now the state is spending 17 million dollars for a pedestrian bridge at the same spot.

  • Was it a train bridge or a car bridge?

  • Car bridge. The train ran under it.

  • Is this from an old Home Movie?

  • Yes. Taken with a super 8 film camera, later transferred to videotape, so this is a third generation. I stood on the brand new bridge, which shook from the concussion of the dynamite while the old bridge didn't budge.
