Wait a minute! Isn't there evidence of a fault line there? The bridges aren't straight.

I saw that, too, but didn't figurer fault lines into the equation. Either that, or if was a government-contracted affair.:p

I can't explain the apparent dip in the bridges. Both bridges appear to have a dip in the middle, but they are flat in real life. There are no fault lines in the near vicinity that I am aware of. You can check a picture on Railpictures.net for a ground's eye view.

That is the first post of a link to a picture that I have done on this site, hope it works.

I didn't mean a dip. They are displaced horizontally as if a fault were there. Both bridges are displaced in the same east-west location. You would have to look down them longitudinally to tell is they were not straight.
