Greg Saylor and Joe Marchinchin pose in front of the main span of the MP 242 intermediate signal bridge which once stood proud over the west end of Horseshoe Curve. Regretably, due to the design of this specific bridge, and the way it was installed along the right of way, the legs of this bridge could not be saved. Additionally, this bridge has several structural defects including damge from an impact many years ago (yes, something impacted the bridge span!) and is simply not suitable for restoration. By the time most of you read this, this span will be nothing more than pieces of scrap metal. Picture taken at Rose Yard.
