[QUOTE="john*thomas, post: 353832, member: 16937"] It takes about 22 revolutions to turn this section of the bridge sideways. A bit harder than I expected. LOL. We had 12 people. The guy supervising told the story about back when the bridge was regularly turned for river traffic it might be 6-8 people from the ship wanting to get through that would have to get off the boat, come ashore, turn the bridge, turn it back and then get back on the boat. We didn't have to be exact but when this was still a working train bridge they did have to align it back right. At one time there was a sternwheeler 240 feet X 60 that passed underneath. The sternwheel was 40X40. It would have been quite a site to see. As a bonus.....still yesterday. I'll have to get another throw away for today. LOL Appx 34 years apart.
