In yesterday’s flight with Roger I got another shot of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge. Last December, on the way back from Oregon on the Talgo train I photographed the spans from below and once again in the evening on March 18 from the Amtrak train. The original steel bridge’s deck collapsed in December 1940, through a combination of engineering errors. Tacoma locals named it “Galloping Gertie”. The second concrete bridge was put into service in 2007.
