Reply to When this bridge in Fort Benton, Montana, USA was built 1888 it was required to have a swing span to allow steamboats to navigate. It was considered the furthest navigable point on Earth, more than 2,700 miles from the Gulf of Mexico. by triviafrenzy

Albany, Oregon used to have a similar bridge but it was made from wood. One of the spans would pivot 90 degrees so river boats could navigate by it.

Reply to TIL the song Tusk by Fleetwood Mac and the USC marching band is the only song that features a marching band to ever make the top ten of the US billboards top 100 songs. by MightGuy420x

My first thought was "Fool in the Rain" by Led Zeppelin, which came out about the same time, but I guess they didn't really use a marching band-though it sounds like it.
