Which Norfolk bridge is this?

[NW Mailing List]

I would say that is Bridge 5 judging by the 5 milepost in the right of the photo. 



As for the date, I don't think that was taken in the 1950's.  Also note in the semaphore in the distance to the left of the mainline.

Subject: Which Norfolk bridge is this? 

I was looking thru the images at VT and saw this one:  http://spec.lib.vt.edu/imagebase/norfolksouthern/F1/NS3717.JPG . Can somebody tell me where this bridge is in Norfolk? Secondly, notice the five-masted ship on the right of the photo. That seems a little strange for the 1950's, unless this photo is much older than that. Thoughts anybody?
