Genny and I took a short vacation down at Ft. Madison, IA, this week. We went
there to catch the many trains that run through there. But we also enjoyed
the additional bonus of the river traffic.

The bridge spanning the Mississippi River is a double-decker. The lower deck
carries the BNSF across, while the upper deck is a highway bridge. On the
Illinois side it's Highway 9, and on the Iowa side it's Highway 2. The toll
booths are on the Illinois side.

The Santa Fe Swing Span Bridge was built in 1927 with a 525-foot swing span.
This bridge is the longest double-decker swing span bridge in the world.

Vlad,
Great shots of this one and the BillBerry! It is quite a different
operation
then I get to see around here. Glad you got to spend some time near the
river.

As long as you didnt miss any trains ;-)

Thanks, Paul! We missed boats and trains, but never because we were busy
shooting the other.
