Good thing they took a picture of it, hunh?

Just googled it. And found it on Google maps. You can see the replacement bridge, and the roads that led to the ghost bridge maybe a mile upstream.

Cool. (Looking now.) Oh yeah, I see --- I thought maybe that RR bridge was a shadow of a ghost bridge, but now I see where the memorial is, and which roads you must mean.

Hey, 2 people were never found. My!

You can see the still-existing RR bridge in the background in the postcard photo--in fact I was a little slow to figure out which things are parts of the collapsed suspension bridge, and which are the railroad truss bridge.

Sometimes I wonder how anyone is found in flooding of coastal cities. It seems like they'd just wash out to sea, never to be seen again.
