Give this a rest. It has nothing to do with the original question that began this thread. Ken, you're 1000 miles away so I don't expect you to be aware of every bridge in Solano County, California; or any bridge for that matter. I live here and I've seen it close up; I have no need to argue whether it exists or not. The original poster's question finally got an answer.

As for comments directed to Stangenberger or others, they are not knowingly submitting false information to some bureaucracy. These folks are good, hard working, dedicated volunteers at the museum. If some government document is lacking a bridge or two on the former SN line, who cares? It's not a big conspiracy or major crime.
