#AdventOfPhotography - Day 5:
The
#Torne river bridge spans between the Swedish town of
#Haparanda and the Finnish town of
#Tornio.
The bridge is quite special. Not only is it the only connection between the Finnish rail network and the rail network of mainland Europe, it is also built as a dual gauge bridge with both, Finnish broad gauge at 1524mm and European standard gauge with 1435mm. Due to the small gauge difference of only 89mm the track is build as a 4-rail-track as opposed to a 3-rail-track.
This is the May picture of my
#calendar2020.
