The Frosty Bar is quite the place to be on a hot summer’s day:

Wife and I have been driving the backroads of America for the past 30 days, found this neat little bridge in Washington State.

Bill…ironic you should post this picture of the bridge over the road. Looks like it is in a residential area… There is one very similar to it in Gloucester MA which is used by the Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority commuter rail. Problem with it is, drainage .
I will have to take a drive to see if any of the old railroad markings are on it. In my town alone we have 7 “at grade” RR crossings which makes for quite the game of chicken between the trains and folks trying to figure out a way to “beat” the trains. A few lose the game, and a tie goes to the train.

I could imagine halting at the stop sign on the other end of the bridge | embankment and craning my neck to the extreme left to look for oncoming traffic. Ouch. It’s great to see this emblem survived. When I take similar trips I am always on the lookout for fallen flag bridge insignias. Another side light similar to yours is spying abandoned grades and wondering from whence they came. The most spectacular remnant I ever saw was spotted coming into downtown Louisville from the North and seeing the absolutely huge Big Four bridge looming out of the fog minus it’s approaches. I often wondered if this bridge was the record holder for an abandoned bridge.
