Remarks & Notes |
The steel members seen in this photo are part of an engineering marvel known as the “Hanging Bridge”. Built in 1878 the engineers found a way to hang a section of bridge 90% over the Arkansas River, the only way to enable the train tracks to run through the 40 foot wide gap between steep granite walls that rise almost 3,000 vertical feet. |
