WOOHOO! Good weather = time to build

I saw a photo of this structure in a magazine while waiting for a job interview last week:

The exposed pilings are clear indication of how much beach erosion has taken place since the 1940s. The photo I saw was after the beach had been "restored", but obviously it has not been restored to the way it was in 1940 (the pilings and foundation are still exposed). Even here in dry Arizona, bridge pilings show evidence of bed scour even over dry rivers. I think details like this are an excellent way to show the bridges and structures on a layout aren't brand new. If you notice in your photos, one bridge has those rectangle footings in the air, another has about 15 feet of the "underground" portion of the piling exposed, and the third (middle) bridge was obviously built post-channelization.
