Tuesday Transportation Oddities

There are two Kinzie Street bridges in Chicago over the north branch of the Chicago River. Each has an interesting story. First, there's the Chicago & Northwestern railroad bridge which is in a raised position except once a year when it's lowered for a high-rail vehicle to travel over it. The bridge is not connected to rails on at least one side and it's said the annual trip by the truck is so the rail line isn't considered abandoned.

The other Kinzie Street Bridge carries the street by that name over the river. The infamous story about this bridge took place on August 8, 2004. A boat carrying some 120 passengers was doing an architecture tour. Just as the boat was passing under the bridge, a bus for the Dave Matthews Band was crossing over the bridge. The driver decided this would be a good time and place to dump the 800 pounds of poop in the buses tanks on the unsuspecting tourists below.
