Augusta GA 6th Street Sunset.....by Reid Callaway
Norfork Southern Railroad Trestle Bridge Architectural Art
While driving back from taking my youngest daughter back to college at Georgia Southern University in Statesboro, I arrive in Augusta, GA just as the sun was going down. I was exited and rushed to the South Carolina side of the bridge to get this wonderful reflections sunset image of the 6th Street Trestle Bridge.
A drawbridge over the Savanna River connects North Augusta, SC to neighboring Augusta, Georgia. Built in 1912 for Southern Railroad, it replaced rail access from South Carolina to Augusta after the 1853 South Carolina Railroad Bridge stretching from former Hamburg, to Augusta was dismantled in 1908. Today the Sixth Street Bridge is maintained and operated by Norfork Southern Railroad. Though the span load longer opens for boats, the trestle style bridge functioned with a Scherzer rolling lift, a 101 foot rolling lift span developed by Chicago engineer William Daniel Scherzer. The Sixth street Bridge, named after the street in Augusta where it connects to other lines is still in operation by Norfolk Southern Railroad.
