Punched In Steel  Contributor's Pick!       
The date of the Rock Island swing bridge's completion was punched in steel above both ends of the railway part of the combined road/rail bridge. The western end survives as the gateway into Swing Bridge Park, and still proudly proclaims "1894" to all who care to look.
