GLADSTONE, Ore. (AP) - Crews on Sunday removed an old railroad bridge that had been tilting over the Clackamas River.
The Oregonian reports (https://is.gd/1ZAaAS ) Union Pacific workers and contractors pulled the old trolley bridge off its damaged footings and into the Clackamas River.
The bridge became unstable on Thursday during high winds and rain-swollen currents.
The 100-year-old bridge was about a mile upstream from the Willamette River. It once carried trolley traffic between Gladstone and Oregon City, and linked them with Portland.
Hundreds of spectators in Gladstone watched workers Sunday.
