Aberdeen, Wa. Union Pacific Swing bridge cab ride

Someone posted this video to one of the faceballs groups I'm in. It's footage from about 1991 in the cab of, and around one of the swing bridges in Aberdeen Wa. I'm Pretty sure this bridge is gone now, demolished after UP stopped service Cosmopolis Wa. It's a pretty cool video, I've never seen the operations of a swing bridge before, kinda interesting. As a Bonus, CC&C #15 makes an appearance at the end.

Ha, I was on that train.
That's my late Uncle Harold leaning out the cab window of #15 as it crossed the bridge.
It's the first time I've seen that video.

Thanks for posting it.
