That's a nice perspective.

Do the trains still travel across them both?

Hey, thanks, that was neat. I had thought both bridges were for trains. Evidently not. ;-)

The far left bridge is for cars, middle is single train and the bridge on the right is two track bridge with a walking and biking bath.

Three bridges, side by side.... That's a busy river crossing. Haha

Plenty of freight and human traffic... ;-)

Nice picture, videos. Did you notice the shake in the last video at 15-30 sec? If its cold you may want to reduce you gain values to eliminate that.

Very cool.  I'd like to see that when it's all green?  Or maybe all four seasons?

Have you shot it from the other side of the big muddy so that Memphis is in the background?

I don't think you would get a view of downtown Memphis from Ark side.  With the construction going on, don't think you can go down by the river next to the bridge.

well got me. There I was sitting there watching two bridges when...hang on...three bridges. Had to count the empties just to make sure it wasn't me. Nice to watch.
