[CBQ] Where is this bridge?

["Brian Walsh via groups.io" <bcw.backshop=sympatico.ca@groups.io>]

Thank you Richard, Doug, Fred, Ken, James, Phil, et al:

 

I am not a model railroading purist but I do like to create scenes that are somewhat believable. I was having problems with my swing bridge meeting up with a steel trestle as I thought nobody would build a swing bridge adjacent to a steel trestle bridge but CB&Q has proved me wrong (or right, as the case may be). I had checked out both Quincy and Burlington on Google Earth to try to locate the bridge but without success. Thanks to all the responses I realized that the photo was looking south (not north as I had somehow thought). I was able to go back to Quincy and found out exactly where this swing bridge used to be. And, best of all, some of the extra images from the responses also gave me a better clue as to just how the swing bridge and steel trestles meet up.

 

So I'm back at the modelling bench with renewed enthusiasm and tons of gratitude
