The CSX Marley Neck Swing Bridge in Baltimore, Maryland viewed while I was out kayaking.
This bridge, completed in 1930, carries CSX (formerly B&O Railroad) freight train traffic over Marley Creek and serves the industrial and chemical plants along the Baltimore Harbor.—  feeling good at Marley Creek.

This map explains why Michael thought the bridge was over Marley Creek instead of Curtis Creek.
