Port Huron Railroad Train Bridge Demolition - Port Huron, Michigan 3-21-2023 

It was sad to see the old railway bridge dismantled and gone from Port Huron. I always used to be fascinated by it while viewing it from Sarnia. Excellent video Paul. 👍

Hello Paul, you did a great and impressive coverage, but it's so sad that you had a reason to do this. To see this technical monument getting destroyed is a real mess. The bridge wasn't used for a long time, but it showed the "art of work" the engineers did in these times. Thank you for a great video.

Been listening to chat at PH cam, was curious, you answered all questions. Thanks Paul

I'm sad to see it come down; I grew up in Sarnia during the '50s & '60s and saw it those days almost every day, even a few times when trains were crossing it. Port Huron's skyline will always be different.

My Dad worked on this bridge returning from WW2. In the 60's it was our Huck Finn play ground as kids. We would fish there on the wooden piles and climb up the ladders on a dare.

Excellent footage! I’m Happy you were here.

Great video footage, Paul. Thank you!

Thanks for the video.

Was visiting up there last year and admired that old bridge. A real work of art and engineering. Keep us posted with update on the progress of the demolition. Thanks!

Great job! Please keep us updated!

Thanks for being on top of the situation! Pun intended!

This is one of the few and of the largest of this type of bridge left in the world.

Worthy archrival. Historical! Video is 1000 words.

Shame on the Yacht club and the State of Michigan for allowing this Historic bridge being brought down.

Great Video Paul!

Dangitt I used to swim across to the bridge from Canada to climb up that old thing and jump off. Black river.

Hands up for every hooligan that climbed that bridge 👋

nice

Sad to see it go.

Interesting…. Stuff already going in the river 🤦‍♀️. So much for protecting the environment.

I would have thought it would much safer and easier to demo in the down position, but they didn’t ask me. Maybe it couldn’t be lowered. Keep us updated if possible. Thanks!

First off, how did this bridge begin to burn? It was a piece of the skyline, there, too. Sad it has been removed.

Pre atom bomb steel, must be good for something, maybe a bridge or something,,,,,,I agree with the fella that said it would have been easier to take it down when it was down. But then, everything looks easier from shore.

those timbers are so old and oil-soaked! Good luck with that!

Wouldn't it have been easier to lower the bridge before setting it on fire?

Why are the demoing it ? Rails closed

An historical statue dismantled. One wonders where the remains will end up?😢

Would it had not been easier to have lower the bridge and then take it apart? Surely if it's up it would come down

Just curious. Do you ever think that your drone is distracting and dangerous for workers like this? Personally I wouldn't fly in situation like this. Too close. Too distracting.

UGH... Just UGH

About time

That crane looks bent to me.

Bridge should have been cut apart laying down. Nitwit engineer and planners.

Very sad. A big part of history in Port Huron.🥲
