An abandoned former Northern Pacific bridge remains on the Willapa River in Raymond, WA. The bridge itself included a rotating swing portion in the middle to allow marine navigation along the river. Photo by Peter Lewis, 5/9/2008.
The supports are clearly visible as they lead up to the swing portion of the bridge. Photo by Peter Lewis, 5/9/2008.

This shows the control shed in a state of disrepair. At a precarious location, it no doubt offered terrific views of passenger and freight trains passing underneath. Photo by Peter Lewis, 5/9/2008.
Taking a step back, we can see the approach for the bridge. Photo by Peter Lewis, 5/9/2008.
And even further back, we can see the abandoned right-of-way as it winds its way toward the Willapa River. Photo by Peter Lewis, 5/9/2008.
