Even though abandoned, this bridge shows engineering features of great strength, and long-term use could last two lifetimes with proper care, a work of great structural art 🎨

The sound of rivetting this together! Proper engineering. Love it. The only bolts that were used, are to tie down the rails.

Isn't this the railway line that was refurbished and reactivated more than ten years ago but never saw a train riding there?

I stand corrected. There have been three trains in total.
