  • great video. Please come back with more of this stunning action. The tracks we saw from the bridge, the curved ones were those BNSF Mainline and UP the straight ? And how close to the Canadian border are you with this video?

  • This is near the Washington/Oregon border, so not too close to Canada. All the tracks are BNSF, the UP trains come here on trackage rights. UP does have tracks on the other side of the bridge, on the Oregon side.

see all

  • @jflaviovidal FYI: There's a very similar bridge in Sacramento, CA known as the I street bridge. It's called a swinging truss style. The purpose of this type of arrangement apparently was, that at the time (early 1900s), that was what they deemed the most practical and economical to accommodate railroad and river traffic. The Sacramento example accommodates autos and trucks in addition to railroad and river traffic.

  • @cchan006 Nope still BN tracks. Up branches off at N portland. BN main line track go all the way across the Willamette river and into the City of Portland.

  • Hi!

    How far were you from the bridge, and what is it extension?

    Quite curious, I'd never imagined a rotating bridge. What was the purpose of such an interesting arrangement?
