SWEET! Nice find!!! Now we need an article for that bridge, as it's one of the redlinked ones on the list, eh? I want to finish Waldo Hancock first but if I have some time after that? Man these are funky bridges... the funkiest kind there is, maybe? ++Lar: t/c 22:26, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Designer

The Portugalete Transporter Bridge was designed by spanish architect Alberto Palacios, a disciple of Ferdinand Arnodin, who was one of Eiffel's collaborators. It must be changed. For a source, just see the link

Let's add a ref to that effect, because I saw this change and just about reverted it... I have added a ref using the <ref> sytem of tagging. ++Lar: t/c 13:01, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Stalingrad

It is claimed that the Stalingrad example was never a true transporter bridge: see http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/5feet/message/2403 and citations. Is there any evidence other than on Wikipedia for the Stalingrad transporter? --ChaRleyTroniC 15:54, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Needs some TLC

Oh hell. Where on earth would I find the template to list this for cleanup?

This article jumps back and forth between examples. 71.134.22.239 (talk) 16:01, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
