Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Rhode Island Architecture, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

This was the ORIGINAL Pecos River bridge built by the Galveston, Harrisburg & San Antonio Railroad (which by then was owned by the Southern Pacific). Railroad construction crews building east from El Paso and west from San Antonio met each other about 3 miles west of this bridge in 1883, where GH&SA President Thomas Wentworth Peirce drove a silver spike to complete the line. Already advertising itself as the "Sunset Route" at the time of SP acquisition, this GH&SA slogan quickly got applied to SP's entire Los Angeles to New Orleans corridor. Nine years after it was built, SP abandoned this low-level bridge when their famous Pecos High Bridge bypassed it 5 miles upstream.

The ship in the picture is the "Nya Södertelje", built 1868 and refurbished in 1879. If you look at the picture at the bottom of this page: www.tugboatlars.se/Sodertaljeanga.htm you can see that it is taken almost at the same place, but probably at a later date since it is slightly altered. And according tho the text it is on the Södertälje Canal, and that is nowhere close to where you put it on the map. Also the picture could not be taken before 1879 as it then was named "Hållsviken", and from 1871 "Hållsviken I" (It was given the name "Nya Södertelje" after the refurbishment). In 1930 it was renamed to "Ilända Express", and in 1932 it was demolished.
