Armitage Bridge

Posted November 2, 2008, by Ryan Thompson (ragemanchoo [at] hotmail [dot] com)

This was a railroad bridge. The rail line (which is visible on Google Earth, a black line appears when you switch that layer on) which ran from Springfield up north and ended in Brownsville ran across it. The line was removed around 1985, from what I've heard. I-5 arcs over it at 44°18'53.30"N 123° 3'35.31"W. Most of the 'road' is still there, but the tracks have been removed.
