How did it get this name? --NE2 22:55, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
It's not a name, it's a description, I think. The 9.6 is probably a milage or something. - Denimadept (talk) 00:51, 5 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I measure 9.875 miles (15.892 km) from Union Station to the center of the bridge via a simplified route. So it could well be 9.6 miles following track to the south end. —EncMstr (talk) 01:06, 5 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
From what I've seen, most common bridges have descriptions instead of names. No one regards them as more than infrastructure. - Denimadept (talk) 02:09, 5 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Rename to either Spokane, Portland & Seattle Ry. or BNSF Ry.[edit]
BNSF is the current name for the railroad, but why not call it the Spokane, Portland & Seattle Ry. or SP&S Columbia River Draw. The name should be changed for the bridge at mile post 5.1 as well, to Willamette River Draw.
Mile post 0.0, is measured from Union Station, and my guess would be from the doors that the people walk through to board the passenger train.
