Southwest support
This bridge was obviously moved here. The construction of the supports is very crude, with stacked I-beams and square tubing on top of vertical steel beams with welded bracing. The tire swing is probably not original equipment.

Over-designed. This bolt obviously wasn't necessary.
You can see the brace welded to the uprights down there, also. It's red, but not as red as the shoes.
