Photo: Tour boat luckily catches bridge when it’s raised

Photo by Steven Dahlman 21-Jul-16 – Seen from Wolf Point West, the tour boat Riverview passes under the permanently-raised Kinzie Street railroad bridge on the Chicago River north of Wolf Point.

The single-leaf bridge, once used by Chicago and North Western Railway, opened in 1908 but since 2000 it has been locked at a 60-degree angle.
