CSX/L&N Lift Bridge over Tennessee River in Bridgeport, AL

(Bridge Hunter, Satellite)
 
After moved from Danville, TN Bridge
Since TVA maintains a 9-foot navigation channel on most of the Tennessee River, when CSX abandoned its route over Danville, TN, it floated the spans it needed from Danville to Bridgeport to replace a swing span.
