Last shared road-rail bridge in Japan

[Guest bill937ca]

This was the old-bridge between Inuyama Yuuen and Shin-Unuma on the Meitetsu Inuyama Line.  A  new bridge was built and completed on 2000/3/28 so now the traffic and rail travel on separate bridges.

 

Some info may be found in the follow pages (all in Japanese):

Certainly something different!

That is something different. I wonder if there were a high percentage of accidents with trains on the bridge especially in bad weather. I reminds me when they used to have trolleys in NYC and they stopped service because it interfered with the flow of the traffic. I love the POV shots from the cabs, what a wide panaramic view, nothing to block the camera.
