They are mostly a relic of a by-gone era. However, a few of these treasures still grace the rural landscape. This one is near Natchitoches, Louisiana. A new bridge had been built along side this steel one. Why did they leave the old one in tact? Maybe they just didn't have the heart to tear it down. Once upon a time,these old steel structures were once as common as clouds in the sky. They were easy on the eyes, a monunent to the enginering ability of man, and just plain beautiful. Sorry to say, they are vanishing icons of a time gone by.
