Here are some pics, first we'll start off with all the main bridges that cross criss this bordertown.....

First off is the first bridge of Route 10 when it crosses into Bordertown from the North, simply called East Arm Bridge. Its known as a older bridge with only cables and no concrete barrier to stop cars from crashing through. As such, since the bridge opened in 1947, some 72 people have lost there lives in crashes.



Next up is the final bridge for Route 10 in Bordertown. This bridge, which was built in 1933, is known as landmark within the Region, often being seen in countless post cards and tourist photos. It also holds the distinction as being the first road bridge in the region.



Now we move on to the rail bridges, many of which are old and well outdate the road ten bridge....

First up we have the Twin Bridges, so called because both bridges are indentical to each other. Built in 1907, the bridges are well rusted, and the ends actually sit on stones. Replacement bridges have been planned since the 1970s, however to this day no decision or plans have been annouced. They have had some restrengthing over the years, however it is feared that soon weight restrictions may have to be placed on the bridges, which could severely impact cargo trains.



The next rail bridge was built in 1915 and crosses the river about one km upstream from the route 10 bridge. Infact, you can often see the Route 10 bridge on a clear day. There have been some deaths over the years due to people taking photos and not watching for a train, or simply tripping on the many holes in the bridge and falling into the fast moving river. Its simply known as steel arches bridge.



And lastly, we have a nameless rail bridge, known for being one of the most popular fishing spots in the region. Built in 1912, Trains are known to slow down when crossing the bridge to allow fishermen to get out of the way. French river is exceptionally deep at this point, and certain death follows if one falls into the river. There has been a push to ban fishing from the bridge in recent years however it is meeting some backlash.



Finally, we see the town of East Arm. The town is powered by two diesel generators currently after a storm knocked out the main power lines into the region. It primarily houses workers in the regions timber industry, but also contains a small downtown and industrial section. Seen to the entrace of the town is the old church - burnt down during the 1960s in what is today still a unsolved arsonist. It was one of many churches burnt down during the 1960s in this region.

Very nice Kitsune, but you have to start to look at some details like, some of the bridges have the arch pillons disappearing under water, the green one, you should had use another type of bridge or raise it a little bit until showing the stone foundation. Other thing, that might not be of great importance for you, specially if you don't intend to use ferries, is that almost all your bridges won't allowed them to pass under, the bridges are too low.
The rest looks very nice. I hope you don't take  offence on me telling you this ;)

Here is a good example of what I meant with arch pillons going under water. In this pic you will see that I raised the bridge until the foundation shows above water level.

I tried, but alas, it got all very buggy looking, turned pixelated for some odd reason.
