Doesn't look to me to have ever been wide enough for two tracks, not unless the outside rails were right on the edge of the deck. It also hasn't seen a train since 1974.
Someone told me that crews wont run 2 trains on the bridge at the same time. One crew would stop at the one side and wait for other train completed crossed the bridge. they said that it sways so much. Can anyone else confirm this?
One person showed me a picture of beam at bottom (same bridge??? I cant verify that), they are rusted through badly... yet, they still run the trains on that bridge.
