WAF or Tony J can probably give you a good date if they see this. Of course, it depends if this shows the first replacement bridge, or the second one. "We do it right 'cause we do it twice," and "Missed it by this much."

Ironically, the current bridge has been awaiting funding for rehabilitation and repairs since 2006. Oh, well. What's the worst that could happen . . .

As info, the switcher over on the 70 Lead is a straight SW1200. SP never rebuilt this group of 1200's. Well, let me rephrase that. A handful receive M-30 rebuilds, but not remanufacturing like the units done in Houston.
