The Bridge on South Mays




Train tracks. How boring. Still, that's the view from the top of the bridge, looking east. I've also posted a picture of the plaque at the north end of the bridge.

In 1927, the Baylor University basketball team was travelling to Austin by bus for a game. The bus was hit by a train at this crossing, and ten of the students lost their lives. Except for I H 35, there is no other bridge over the tracks in Round Rock. It was rebuilt in the 90's, and now has sidewalks protected by walls on either side.

You can see the bridge behind the fire truck.
