Magazine Middle Bridge

Searching for any old photos of this old bridge, originally known as the " FULLER FORD BRIDGE". Does anyone have a photo of Dr. Seaborn J. Fuller of whom the bridge was named after?

Visited this bridge 9-7-07. I have a photo of where a builders plate used to be. Looks like it shattered due to rust buildup underneath and fell off a long time ago. Also have a shot of the conveyor belt material on the deck that Fred mentioned. Also have one panorama side view shot.

Webmaster's note: The photos that were here have been incorporated into the main site.

Visited this bridge on 18 Feb 2007 about 5 pm. The approaches have a top covering of what appears to be conveyor belt material about 2 to 3 ft. wide. There are missing running boards and several rotted holes in the decking. This bridge was so close to the modern replacement bridge, that I passed by it without seeing it till I came back across the replacement bridge. Was able to get photos from every side and from the replacement.

so many of my bridge memories are from childhood. about 1970 there was a large flood here in this valley of the Petit Jean south of Magazine. this valley between the first magazine bridge and Potts Ridge was flooded. we had to go around thru the town of Blue Mtn. to check cattle in Hog Thief Valley. we went up Potts ridge and down the other side approaching this middle bridge to see the flooded valley and bridge. the water was so high only about the top 4 foot of this bridges' upper truss was visible!
