I really like this unprotected drop into the estuary. I took some more dramatic images of this, but I enjoy the simplicity of this shot.

Does anyone know what the inner rails are for? They taper in at the transition to the bridge, that is to say, they are not just a smaller gauge.

    The inner rails are to limit the wheels travel - it the train should derail, the inner rails keep the inside wheel from going all the way (off the bridge.)
