Blevins Bridge

Here's the Blevins bridge in 1993 shortly after its well deserved paint job. I mainly took this as a detail shot for my scale drawings of the bridge that ran in the Stemwinder. Look at all those rivets. This is the end nearest Blevins. How can you tell? There are triangular shaped ornamental plates in the corners, between the crosspiece that goes to the right and the main beam that goes down. These ornamental plates are missing from the other end. Whether they were stolen or never made it from the original owners is a mystery (to me anyway).
