Een bijzonder fraai samengestelde meterspoortrein nadert Régua en berijdt het viaduct over de rivier Corgo, die 100 meter verderop in de Douro uitmondt.
The Captain Cook Bridge creates a connection from Gardens Point to Woollongabba. It was opened in 1972 and is Queensland’s busiest traffic bridge.
As the city of Brisbane is based around the gently winding, huge volume Brisbane River, it's a given that the river is cris-crossed by many bridges. They've been constructed over the period of 150 years so vary hugely in design - from original rail bridges to modern works of architectural art.
Many of the bridges in Brisbane have been subject to damage due to flooding and some have been rebuilt a number of times.

Merano or Meran is a town and comune in South Tyrol, Italy. Generally best known for its spa resorts, it is located within a basin, surrounded by mountains standing up to 3,335 m (11,000 ft), at the entrance to the Passeier Valley, the Vinschgau and the Ulten Valley. In the past the town has been a popular place of residence for several scientists, literary people, and artists, including Franz Kafka, Ezra Pound and Paul Lazarsfeld, who appreciated its mild climate.

Road 400 (Cottonwood Canyon Road) connects U.S. Highway 89 with Utah S.R 12 at Cannonville near the entrance to Bryce Canyon National Park and traverses portions of Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. This 47 mile dirt road has been used in the past as an alternative to U.S. Highway 89 for drivers wishing to avoid the long western detour around the scenic National Monument. Instead, Road 400 offers a unique drive through the heart of the Monument itself. The only other unpaved road (Smoky Mountain Road) traversing the entire Grand Staircase is to the east and is only suitable for high clearance four wheel drive vehicles.
Road 400 used to be a reasonably good quality dirt road (mostly sand and clay over a sandstone foundation) that allowed passage of ordinary vehicles during dry weather. Unfortunately as of mid-2009 an ongoing dispute over public rights of way in the Monument (see Revised Statute 2477) between the Federal government and Kane County (the local agency that used to provide maintenance) has led to a serious decline in the condition of the road, and only high clearance vehicles will be able to make the entire trip.
Originally constructed as a maintenance road for power lines following the canyon, it is considered impassable in wet weather as many drainages cross the road in various locations, and these may wash out during periodic flash flooding. In October-April roads will freeze after the sun sets. Additionally the first 10 miles of the southern leg traverses ancient seabed deposits of the Tropic Shale formation, and when wet this clay becomes unmanageable even with a four wheel drive vehicle.
Patient drivers of this road will be rewarded with a close look at spectacular natural features, including one known as the Cockscomb. While topography here is not on an especially large scale, the formations are jagged, varied, and colorful. Additionally there are a few excellent hiking trails that can be accessed along the midsection of the road such as Hackberry Canyon and the Cottonwood Narrows. Other notable attractions accessible from the northern reaches of this road include Grosvenor Arch and Kodachrome Basin State Park.
Given current road conditions, extra time should be allowed if this route is used. There are no services available anywhere along the route except at Cannonville on the northern end. Carry food, extra water and emergency supplies before traveling this road. Avoid this route if thunderstorms are in the area, and always check locally for road conditions at any one of the various BLM offices in the region before setting out.
A good overview of the terrain in this region may be seen at the project relief map at the Glen Canyon Dam interpretive center, located on the North side of the Glen Canyon overlooking the downstream face of the dam, where the road crosses over the bridge.
The canyon may be located on satellite images by starting from Lake Powell. The canyon is readily identified by the relatively straight gouge at the western boundary of this area running slightly east of north, in the center of Kane County.

Bridgepixing Mississippi River bridges at Memphis, Tennessee:
Looking East - 1) On, the left, the Harahan Bridge carrying the Union Pacific Railroad; 2) In the center, the Frisco Bridge carrying Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad (BNSF); and 3) On the right, the Memphis-Arkansas Memorial Bridge carrying Interstate I-55.
1) The Harahan Bridge is a cantilever bridge carrying two rail lines across the Mississippi River between West Memphis, Arkansas and Memphis, Tennessee. The bridge also carried motor vehicles from 1917-1949, when the Memphis-Arkansas Memorial Bridge opened. The bridge is currently owned by Union Pacific Railroad.
2) The Frisco Bridge, previously known as the Memphis Bridge, is a cantilever bridge carrying a rail line across the Mississippi River between West Memphis, Arkansas and Memphis, Tennessee. At the time of the Memphis bridge construction, it was a significant technological challenge and is considered to be chief engineer George S. Morison's crowning achievement. No other bridges had ever been attempted on the Lower Mississippi River. Besides the difficulty of crossing this far south, Morison was required to provide at least 75 feet clearance, have a main span of more than 770 ft for the main river channel. He was also required to provide for vehicular and pedestrian traffic on the same level as the rail traffic. Construction for the Kansas City, Fort Scott and Memphis Railroad began in 1888 and was completed May 12, 1892. In the end the project created a bridge that was the farthest south on the Mississippi River, featured the longest span in the United States and cost nearly 3 million dollars. A testament to its design and construction, as of 2006 the bridge is still used by BNSF Railway. The bridge is listed as a Historic Civil Engineering Landmark.
3) The Memphis-Arkansas Memorial Bridge is a cantilever bridge carrying Interstate 55 across the Mississippi River between West Memphis, Arkansas and Memphis, Tennessee. Memphians refer to this bridge as the "Old Bridge" to distinguish it from the "New Bridge", or Hernando de Soto Bridge, upstream.
