     I had heard that the one of the St. Maries River Railroad bridges had collapsed on April 24, 2006.  According to the news report they were going to use barge cranes to rescue the equiptment out of the water.  So on April 26 I drove over to investigate.  Unfortunately they didn't have the barges or cranes there but I was able to get photos of the wreck.  Apparently it collapsed under some MOW equiptment and nobody was seriously hurt.  The following are several more pictures.
