Seeing the car it appears this picture was taken late 40s early 50s Can't make out what year the car is.

Yes, much later card than most that I post, but Ft. Loudon was the group I was working through.

Those ties look to be about 8" x 12". Kinda like they didn't want to take any chances on that bridge. :D

I'm impressed with those bridges where it states on the one photo 8 x 16 x 16 stringers. Wow! I thought Pennsy built some pretty impressive structures, as they were the "standard" of the US, but those are some very serious bridges. No problem for even a "BigBoy", had they been available; that would be somewhere in the neighborhood of 1 million pounds for engine and tender. :shock:

They did not skimp back in the day - carried a lot of coal over those bridges, I guess.

Sadly, most of that was pretty much gone right around the time of these photos.
