View of typical section of stiffening truss

Views of the newer modified section of stiffening truss toward the center of the bridge. Note the lack of v-lacing on the members. Many of the connections in this section are bolted.

Various small cable connections and turnbuckles.

Views of bottom chord connections. I am on that newer section of truss, so some newer things like bolted connections can be seen.

Various views around the north anchorage. At far left, an empty eyebar, that may have once held cables or something. The last two photos are of a closed off tunnel that runs under the anchorage.

Various details of tower.

Various views of anchorage.

Various views of members.

Turnbuckles. Note the detailed stamp on the rightmost photo. It reads:

"EdgeMoore, Patd. Jan 1881"

I also think it says (upside down left side of turnbuckle in the picture) "16/4" which is referring to the size, I assume.
