DAY 68

Camelback bridge.

Erected in 1889.

We're told that the bridge's main span is a "wooden kingpost pony truss." Which is surprisingly difficult to say. Especially when it's cold outside.

The iron supports are called Phoenix columns, which were patented by the Phoenix Iron Company in 1862.

Those Phoenix columns are very cool.
