Eastbound Sunset
Title:  Eastbound Sunset
Description:  The eastbound SUNSET passes through the Berwick Bay lift bridge behind P30CH units 704 and 703. The big vertical lift span was installed in 1971 and eliminated the use of a swing span near the Berwick end of the bridge, partially visible on the left. The new centrally-located channel opening greatly reduced the frequency of vessels hitting the bridge.

Eastbound Sunset
Title:  Eastbound Sunset
Description:  The eastbound SUNSET rolls off of the Espee's Berwick Bay bridge and into Morgan City with P30CH's 704 and 703 and seven cars. At one time fishing boats would have filled the docks here; but by this time, almost all of these had been replaced with offshore support vessels such as the SUGAR PLUM and its sisters. A railroad siding once ran along Berwick Bay in the open area on the left.
