Water bridge Over A River

Have you seen a river over a river?
This should now be listed as the 8th wonder of the world.


Water bridge .... over a river ...

Even after you see it, it is still hard to believe!

Water Bridge in Germany .... What a feat!

Six years, 500 million euros, 918 meters long.......now this is engineering!

This is a channel-bridge over the River Elbe and joins the former East and
West Germany , as part of the unification project. It is located in the city of Magdeburg, near Berlin .
The photo was taken on the day of inauguration.

To those who appreciate engineering projects, here's a puzzle for you
armchair engineers and physicists.

Did that bridge have to be designed to withstand the additional weight
of ship and barge traffic, or just the weight of the water?

A JOURNEY BEGINS

The development of one of the world's finest vintage railways
From an auction of old coaches at Milner Park Johannesburg, in 1986, the development of one of the world's finest vintage railways has been an eventful journey. This is how it all began. As so often happens, it was a combination of events and influences that led to the purchase of the first coach, the beginning of what would become Rovos Rail. A Wilbur Smith heroine with her own private railway coach, a man called Phil Acutt with a passion for trains and the presence of the Witbank Steam Railway in the coal-mining town where Rohan Vos ran his successful auto spares business all played a part. 'Rohan has always been obsessed with things mechanical,' remembers Anthea Vos who has been at his side throughout and has raised a family in and around the developing railway business. 'In fact he started his business on the R400 he made from the sale of an old Packard car he rebuilt. Rohan was involved in so many ventures, but I didn't see this one coming. In 1985 Rohan and his wife took up a last minute invitation on a train trip for business suppliers to the Magaliesberg, 'I became a train widow on that day,' says Anthea. 'I sat all dressed up by myself; Rohan spent most of the time in the engine with the driver. The irony was that we should have seen how difficult it would be - the train broke down and we were bussed back to town.'
