Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Houston Belt and Terminal Railway Bridge over Buffalo Bayou, Houston, Texas. This photo, taken inside the gearbox, on the upstream side of the bridge, reflects a similar setup on the downstream side, and shows both ends of what happens inside the gearbox.

The electric motor, one of two is connected by a shaft to a system of gears to the right of this photo, that transfers power to the gear at the left, which is directly connected by a shaft to the pinion, just on the other side of the gearbox wall.

The rotating pinion turns the rack, raising or lowering the bridge. See: www.flickr.com/photos/nakrnsm/5004601153/
