The first run of the 2011 New River Train passes under the historic New River Gorge Bridge during Bride Day 2011. Once a year, the bridge is closed and people are permitted to base jump from the unique structure that stands tall at an impressive 876 feet. With temperatures in the 60's and a beautiful day in the gorge, there was an impressive 102,000 people present at the time of this image. If one observes carefully, spectators can be seen on the bridge above.
