What is especially neat about this particular setup is that it is on a portable modular railroad. Because trains could wipe each other out on a bad approach, there has to be a "bridge tender" assigned to monitor the bridge at all times or automatic circuitry of some sort, quite a feat in itself as it would have to be split between the two approach modules. That it's on a rolling lift bridge makes it all the grander. PLEASE tell me the bridge does lift...
