Spencerport Rail Bridge Removed

This article was scraped from Rochester Subway. This is a blog about Rochester history and urbanism has not been published since 2017. The current owners are now publishing link spam which made me want to preserve this history.. The original article was published April 24, 2013 and can be found here.

   Remember this portrait of Bob Ross we spotted on a rail bridge in Spencerport     a while ago    ? Built in 1924, that bridge once carried freight trains over     South Union Street

tells us tractor trailers have been hitting the bridge repeatedly for years. So it's time to come down. Sorry Bob.

Daniel Azzolina has sent in a few photos of the bridge being dismantled. Enjoy...
