2 bridges crossing at different angles to each other in the same stop, the 1882 covered bridge and a train bridge as I was headed home from my ride up to the White Mountains yesterday

From a ride last week.  New bridge over the Llano River in TX.  You can see the old water crossing down below.

Is it the first bridge in that location?

I believe so, at this specific location.  I have no idea how long the water crossing has been there.  There is another small bridge like this one a few miles to the west and a water crossing a few miles to the east.  Also, a large bridge farther to the east in the town of Llano and one farther to the west.

Kissing Bridge in West Montrose, On.
If you get your 750 up to 88 mph you can go back to the future!

I had the same thought when I saw it.

Not sure if I posted this one here yet or not, they are going to blow it up sometime in the near future so it will just be a memory. I walked out acorss it in 1982 or so, or was more rural then. I rode my CL175 back nearly to it, there was a hill of dirt to try to keep people out, rode right over it. Walked out clear across, several places I had to hold onto rebar and stuff to get across the broken parts. After I rode out and down the road I passed about 20 vehicles hurrying in that direction, somebody must have reported me. This was an Inter Urban railroad bridge....the inter urban railroads were electric powered and ran from rural areas into bigger cities.

This section of railroad would have been a portion of the line from Toledo to Lima, OH. Portions were named the "T and W" and older folks say it meant "teeter and wobble" LOL.
