That last one, the one with the fancy concrete form work on the pedestrian "railings" are remiscent of '30's WPA stuff. Do you know when that one was built?
BTW ... I showed my daughter the close-up shot of the curb gutter drain on your last bridge. I said there's this guy named Gary on Big Blue ... "
She said, "Yeah, I know, the bridge guy from Texas."
"Right ... well, he built this new bridge ... it's a street underpass and you know how they fill up when it rains, so he built this gutter drain ..." and turned the laptop around so she could see it.
"DAMN! He's gettin' really good! That could pass as real! If you hadn't told me I would have thought it was just some gutter drain that you in your weirdness had taken a photo of. But that is awesome!"
Just thought I should tell you that your work is appreciated by non-model railroaders as well as the rest of us here.
