I think you were actually. :-) My original premise was that the bridge
was crossing over the cross-over tracks in a larger scale update of my
favorite train LEGO train cover photo from the 60's. The discussions
on Sat. about harbour loops and "water" giving us opportunity to show
boats and loading docks, etc. I also like. As you say, it requires at
least one more bridge if done as a "C" - I've already got it built
(in my head, along with the primary arch bridge) James P has some
ships he will send if he can squeeze them in - He also has a Technic
"automated" coal loading station, but it's staying with him... :-)
