A slight correction - Wayne did have some temporary Znap supports that were in
place while he was connecting the "cables".  The monorail stanchions(sp?) in
the picture are just that.  You can see the monorail track parallel to Wayne's
bridge.

Ahhh - I missed the thin grey line of the monorail track - I see now
that it's not part of the bridge, just very close to it.  The question
about ZNAP usage and utility in the bridge still stands, though :)

Also, this brings up another question - has anyone attempted to set a
record for a monorail bridge?  It seems a shame to have such a large,
unsupported span of dual train track, only to put a monorail track with
stanchions right beside it :)

Thanks,

Jeff
