That "sunken ship" is probably the foundation for the swing span. The "airplane" may be bogus...I don't see a shadow where it should be based on the shadows of the spans.
Personally I'd like to see some more trestles! As for the airplane's shadow, I think it's probably out of the frame. The plane should be flying high enough for its shadow to be well out of the picture.
The piles("sunken ship") are to keep barges from hitting the bridge abutments and the airplane is doing a "Loop".
Arrg! but I only just solved the last one! At least this one has North shown. Swing bridges also sometimes put piles where the end of the bridge will be, to keep boats out of that area; but I can't see where this bridge swings - I see a pivot, but I don't see the ends. The plane is just flying towards the camera! Alright, blue-green water, green trees, green-grey silt (or a road made on sandstone?) to the south; upstream to the north-east? Double-track through girder in fetching rust-brown. The river is boat-navigable and has river traffic. Shadows go.. sideways?! Slightly to the north; so I have to say it's evening somewhere near or just north of the dotted line. Although if I'm wrong about the shadows, it could be quite far north - 30 degrees plus. Now I wait to see how many of my assumptions are wrong
I know of some swing bridges that were built with the intention of future ship traffic which never occured. They were probably opened once just to prove they could and then locked closed. A bridge in nearby Fairport I believe was like that. Another example is way high up the Maumee river next to the Ohio Turnpike on the Toledo Terminal Rwy.
Someone might have found it before now; if only we weren't all looking for other bridges Double tracked line, girder bridge, possibly electrified. Green "tree" things and flat fields in pasture on the right and crops on the left. hmm Nope; back to Russia for the Advanced thread!
Alright, done with Russia; can't find the target of the Beginners' thread; so I'm back here again. Like the sucker for torment that I am The best I can do, which is obviously not it, is Torun, Poland It's a north-south bridge on an east-west river. It's got trees. It's double track and probably electrified too. The water's not quite the right colour and it's a bit short on aeroplanes (shadows or not). It's also not a swing bridge. Does anywhere outside of America regularly build Swing bridges? Does anyone else think it's actually electrified? Coz if it's not, it's back to the USA for my hunt. Come out, come out where-ever you are...
Why do you think it's electrified? I don't see any evidence of pole or gantry shadows. Of course it could be third rail....?
I think it's "overhead electric" or not at all. The shadows are dubious (though not as bad as A008!) and it is very hard to tell - my usual look points would be the bridge pillars where the truss comes down to track level each time; and I can't see anything there (bad zoom level? or self-delusion?) Hence, I wonder if earlier I "saw" an overhead to fool myself into moving (the search) to Europe, and now I'm questioning that assumption on the grounds that I'm deluded (again) Does that make any sense? Summary 1) I figured there must be overhead wires for some reason, last week 2) now I'm not so sure; and non-overhead-wired double track swing bridges makes "more sense" if the Target is America. 3) I don't see how the Target can be anywhere but America - who else uses swing bridges? (I used to drive over one twice a day to get to school. But it weren't Rail or Truss!, (or in America ) ) Oh heck; someone find the bridge and prove me right or wrong! All this "google earth" dancing is destroying my sleep rhythm
