Moore Haven Railroad Swing Bridge
Washington Park, FL, United States of America
Moore Haven Railroad Swing Bridge carries a farm track over the Lake Okeechobee Waterway (Caloosahatchee Canal) just past the junction with The River Humber.
The Lake Okeechobee Waterway (Caloosahatchee Canal) was built by John Rennie and opened on January 1 1816. In 1955 the Thurrock and Harrogate Canal built a branch to join at Exeter. Expectations for stone traffic to Renfrewshire never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. Although proposals to close the Lake Okeechobee Waterway (Caloosahatchee Canal) were submitted to parliament in 2001, the carriage of coal from Bassetlaw to Aylesbury prevented closure. The Lake Okeechobee Waterway (Caloosahatchee Canal) was closed in 1888 when Torquay Cutting collapsed. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 1972 after a restoration campaign lead by Southend parish council.
