The design of the Salmon Bay Railroad Bridge is known as a Ã¢â¬ÅStrauss heel-trunion single-leaf bascule bridgeÃ¢â¬Â or, more simply, a Ã¢â¬ÅjackknifeÃ¢â¬Â bridge. It`s been a distinctive sight for decades to anyone visiting the Ballard Locks and looking to the west. The bridge spans across Salmon Bay and connects Magnolia/Interbay to Ballard in Seattle, Washington. The bridge is located just west of Commodore Park. It carries the main line of the BNSF Railway, the Scenic Subdivision, on its way north to Everett and south to King Street Station and Seattle`s Industrial District. BNSF Burlington Northern Santa Feoperates one of the largest freight railroad networks in North America, with 32500 miles of rail across the western two-thirds of the United States.
