Fact: LLM does not own the train bridge. After getting the necessary permits from the state, LLM paid for the engineering, equipment, etc. to make the existing fixed track into an opening bridge.
Fact: The railroad, rightly so, controls the opening and closing of that bridge according to its own needs. During the boating months the bridge is always open until the railroad closes it occasionally for various reasons. LLM maintains at its own expense the bridge's equipment and operating systems.

Thank you Bentley Boy for clearing this up. The statement that LLM owned the bridge seemed to be a little bit far fetched. Most people know that the state controls the right of ways for RR and NO individual can own or control parts of the RR for their own personal gain. The gain is for the public interest.
