This is an abandoned railroad bridge that crosses the Susquehanna River just north of Pittston, PA. The water is now about 30 feet below the tracks, but there is a lot of debris caught on the bridge, even at the level of the tracks, where the water was flowing just over a week ago. The water is still very muddy.

Comments by Jan Bjorklund on Sun, 09/18/11 23:00 It looks from the tilt in the immediate foreground that the flood waters nearly managed to wash away the bridge itself... or perhaps it was from the force of the material being carried by the river that titled the roadway. Is this a walkway or just abandoned to the elements?

The bridge on the left and the right are the same bridge but is the one in the middle also the same but from a much different perspective? Comments by Paul Bracey on Tue, 09/20/11 21:41 The left and right sides are both looking west (note the same piece of wood stuck on the upstream side of the bridge) and the middle view is looking east Comments by Pietro Cecchi on Thu, 09/22/11 13:14 Interesting story/illustration, told by adjacent frames, Paul... :) The old bridge holds many memories.
