nope...Fraser River off Hwy99.
Sun's out. Go get it! The 650 currently sits with the charging system apart, trying to figure out the best way to mount the new R/R (mounting holes on new one are too far apart)'83 GS650G
'83 GS550es (didn't like the colours in the 80's, but they've grown on me)

Tag is a railroad swing bridge. Not a turnabout. Not a draw bridge, not a bascule bridge. Not a lift bridge.
I suppose a swingbridge for automotive traffic will suffice, but I dont suspect there are such things. But just not a litle one on a PuttPutt course.
If you find the swingbridge in the closed position (position for train, close for boat traffic) then I suppose it will look like a regular bridge and will need some evidence that it is in fact a swing bridge, maybe a sign or some refrence on a map.

I think you will find them called "Swing Bridge". And maybe in Railroad fanatic sites.
If the game goes on with no find past next weekend, I have a backup in mind: "bascule bridge".
So I discovered a few things today. And one of them was that my winter gloves and my riding pants (even with liner) are not up to the task of 35 degrees on cruiser bike with only small fairing.

yup, here it is:

Then there are at least 2 on the North arm of the Frazer between the Port Mann and Knight Street Bridges.
