This Texas & Pacific bridge crosses over US 377 just south of Denton, TX. On either side of the T&P Diamond Logo are the city names "ST. LOUIS", "MEMPHIS", "NEW ORLEANS" along with another city that is hard to make out. Note the newer "T&P RWY" stencil over the diamond. View is looking north. Photo by Greg Harrison.
