Default Bailey Bridges

Gotta love 'em somehow. There's a 1944-dated Class 70 bridge up north of Matachewan... have to find the pics I took. There's also a Class 5 (hint for those of you who've known me longer than when Christ was a Corporal) bridge NE of Toronto, put up by 2 Field E after Hurricane Hazel in '53... a thing of beauty (the bridge, not the hurricane (unless it was a Mark II with a 3-bladed prop... oh, never mind)). I'll try to dig up pics of that as well. Any time I head that way with my kids (they're closing on 27 and 25), they shriek. "DAD!!!! WE KNOW ALL ABOUT THAT GODDAM BAILEY BRIDGE!!!! NOW GET BACK IN THE DAMN CAR AND STOP BLOCKING TRAFFIC!"

No educating the young these days, I tell you.
