The July “Where Is This” photo by Brunswick Electric member David Anderson features the downtown Waxhaw Rail Bridge in Union County, which connects Main and Providence Streets. This historic overhead wooden bridge was originally built in 1888 for pedestrians and soon automobiles to safely cross over the Seaboard Coastline railroad tracks. In 1940, the town designated the bridge as pedestrian only. The town of Waxhaw and CSX renovated the bridge in 2007. Reader Rob Bush commented that his grandparents were married on the bridge. Others noted that young and old enjoy feeling the bridge rumble under their feet as a train travels below. The winning entry chosen at random from all correct submissions came from Randy Ferguson of Monroe, a Union Power Cooperative member.
