landmark, place with historical importance, railway bridge
The current railroad bridge was built over the remains of it's predecessor. The original which can be seen here in the water was lost in a large flood in 1951. The flood led to the construction of soldier creek, and many dikes to prevent future floods. These measures nearly failed in 1993
