I've been browsing the bridges and I'm surprised not to see this one bridge I went over about three years...unless I haven't searched enough. Problem, can't think of the name, if it has one?
This bridge crosses the Red River somewhere east of the Sherman/Denison area. It originally was constructed for covered wagons with I think a lane for foot walking...circa-mid 1800's. Sometime later it was used as a rail road bridge. Then eventually car traffic with the original foot or wagon part of the bridge on the east side of the one lane bridge.
Its used for crossing, but you have to watch for other vehicles, and if you see one, have to wait for it to cross over before you can go the other way.
I have a pic somewhere in my archives of me crossing this thing, but havn't run across it. Hopefully it may be on another hardrive I brought back from Abilene this week. I figure someone out there has info or pics of this thing.
