International Bridge, Part One
Here’s a shot of the Cuyahoga passing under part of the International Railroad Bridge in Sault Saint Marie. The ship was built in 1943 as the Mesabi to bring ore from Duluth to steel mills on the lower Great Lakes. You can read more about this ship here.
The bridge pictured, which this is just a part, is interesting as well: made up of three different types of movable spans (swing, bascule, and lift). The Sault Saint Marie International Bridge for vehicular traffic in seen behind that for the railroad.
The bridges span the St. Marys River which separate Canada and the United States. The famous Soo Locks are located here as well, toward camera right, downriver.
