The train bridge north just of I-40.
That's the Topock Marina.

Thats the shitty part of the river. Don't ever go up that far. Its really lame and shallow and the people suck up there. :devil: Make sure you pass that along to all your friends. :D

What are the second set or inner rails on each track used for? :confused:

Those are rail gaurds, designed to keep the trucks (wheelsets) rolling straight so that they won't go over the side of the bridge if for some reason the engines or cars were to derail...and this happens, rails can sometimes collapse under the weight of an engine, or break apart due to sudden temperature changes.....this is known as "Bridgerail" and is used on all types of bridges....also, there is no such thing as a lucky engineer...that term is an oxymoron..... :rollside: good guess you guys, you were right!!! Though with you guys, it was a given that someone would get it so fast.....
