Swing Bridge Action         
Just your average train on a bridge. Wrong! This is a human-powered swing bridge. Thats right- it takes two strong guys cranking a large gear for a couple minutes to move this massive structure into place. With the Atlantic ocean only two miles away, this short eastbound tanker train is running out of rail as it nears the last customer on the line. (Check out a time-lapse of the bridge being opened here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vIvZ9_0q9xs)
