Beautiful Industry- Blynman Bridge
Note to boaters- If you think it’s gonna be close, don’t chance it and try to sneak under. I got a feeling it’s just not gonna be worth it to slam into one of those huge I beams head on with your vessel. It will be ugly not to mention costly to repair and you’ll look like a complete tool to all the people looking over the railings to check out the pretty boats passing through.

Beautiful Industry- Blynman Canal Bridgehouse Controls
It’s unreal that this control panel is close to a hundred years old and still gets the job done. I bet if it was replaced by some new equipment that the new equipment would break down every 5 years or so and have to be replaced. They just don’t make stuff like they used to.

Steve Lake, The Cut Bridge Operator Shared This Photo Of The Bridge As It Stood In 1907.
If you look under the bridge you can see at low tide it went aground.

This is on the huge old control board at the Cut Bridge. Video will be coming up in a couple hours. I’ll be releasing the pictures from inside the Control House all week long.

Mike Lindberg sent in a suggestion that he would like to see the inside of the Blynman Bridge Control House.

That was a fantastic idea! How many of us have driven past the Cut Bridge Control House all our lives but never been privy to the inside equipment and people that run it.
Check out how old and beautiful that control board is. Classic!
I had a “Wizard of Oz” moment after stepping inside for my interview and forthcoming video series with Steve Lake- “The Wizard” who was kind enough to let me in and show us around.
You asked- GMG Delivers Baby!
Look for the first part of the video series tomorrow morning.
