This is Bridge 95 over the Ongarue River, the last working car/train bridge in NZ.
The last train crossed in 2009.

...Betty, I've only seen a few of the car/trains bridge, but the have been in cities. It looks like a sturdy things, I hope that they preserve it. Thanks for stopping by Tuesday's Treasure.
I don't know if we have any of those in the USA...I for sure have never seen one. Really neat!
I have not seen a car/train bridge. How fascinating! Thank you for sharing!

wow amazing Bridge.
I can't recall seeing anything like that anywhere I've been. I hope it will be preserved even if trains no longer use it.

Hope it's got a preserve order on it - love these old feats of engineering! YAM xx
I have not seen a bridge like this before.
we've been thrown head on into summer this week. Evidently it is the hottest recorded start to November. Looks like summer is going to be a hot one.
I always look forward to your post each week. Always something so interesting. Have a wonderful week. Hello from Germany!
It is a great piece of history . Thanks so much for hosting!
Great view of this old bridge! This is the time where it begins more to be like Fall weather - in the 30ties and 40ties at night and early morning in the mountains where I live. Thank you for your awesome post about the trains for All Seasons - some of my comments had trouble "sticking"!
What a treasured bridge, very unique.
Great shot!
A very old and a very intersting Bridge!
Greetings from Germany

I don't know if I would have fancied a train going over my head whilst driving over the bridge!
Have a brilliant day :)
Old bridge and it looks beautiful. Nice composition of the picture.
Thank you for hosting.
