#PhotoOfTheDay is the Mossdale vertical lift railroad bridge over the San Joaquin River in Lathrop, CA. Built in 1942 as a replacement for the original 1869 bridge which was the final link in the Transcontinental Railroad.

    @[email protected] Ah, that’s very cool and sounds like a fun set building gig. Have they given you various height specs to work towards?

    This also reminds me that I need to go find a copy of The Backstage Handbook. I’ve been meaning to get a copy for I think a couple of years now. :)
