Bridge over the river Soreq

.
Recently you saw the modern train station in Tel Aviv and also the inside of an Israel Railways train.
Now let's take that train up to Jerusalem.
.
When the Tel Aviv-Jaffa to Jerusalem railway was opened in 1892, it saw the Middle East's first train.
The journey of 82 km (50 miles) then took 4 hours.
Today it is "only" about one hour and 45 minutes.
.
One single track goes all that way, with a few places where one train can pull over and wait for another train coming from the opposite direction to pass.
.
While my train stood off to the side, near the old and now roofless Bar Giora train station, a group of school kids came by, on their spring hike through the Soreq Valley to see the almond trees in bloom.
.
A delight to see the kids out in nature!
.
But I was overjoyed to see that they were crossing a BRIDGE, something to post for Sunday Bridges meme!
.
The metal bridge is narrow, enough for just one person, and appeared to be less than two meters above the fast-flowing Nahal Soreq river.


The Soreq drains the Jerusalem Hills west of Jerusalem and ends in the Mediterranean Sea.
