Title A name given to the resource Brookwood Covered Bridge Subject The topic of the resource Covered bridges Description An account of the resource This covered bridge was located about 5 miles south of Brookwood, Ala., on Covered Bridge Road. It was thought to built about 1850 and was destroyed by fire in 1962. It was the last covered bridge in Tuscaloosa County. The bridge was constructed of heavy pine timbers put together by wooden pegs. The roof was of tin with nails, put there about 1945 when re-roofing was ordered by the Tuscaloosa County Board of Revenue. The board said the old bridge should be preserved as long as possible as a historical landmark in the county. The bridge stood about 50 feet over the waters of Hurricane Creek, supported by creosoted logs, part of them resting on an abridgement of solid rock. The bridge spanned 200 feet, with the covered portion 100 feet long. In an article in The Tuscaloosa News on Feb. 6, 1955, writer Bob Kyle said bridges like this one were used extensively in olden times when houses and towns were few and far between. The covered bridges provided wagon travelers places where they could spend nights out of the cold and rain. The bridge survived in good shape even when it was bypassed when the road was paved in 1957 and a new concrete and steel bridge built and the covered bridge was closed to traffic. The members of the Alabama Federation of Garden Clubs agreed to maintain and preserve the historic landmark. Dates before the Civil War were carved into the walls with lovers' initials and Cupid's hearts. Looking Back, Tuscaloosa News, August 21, 2017 In June of 1962, the bridge burned with arson suspected. By the time firefighters arrived, the middle section of the bridge had collapsed into Hurricane Creek. Ten University of Alabama students admitted they were possibly responsible for the fire; they said they had been picnicking and built a fire on the end of the bridge, but thought they had put out the fire before leaving. With no evidence to indicate any intent to burn the bridge, Circuit Solicitor Fred Nichol indicated that no criminal charges would be filed.

Postcard Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections. For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title A name given to the resource Tuscaloosa Trolley in Montreal, Canada Subject The topic of the resource Transportation Description An account of the resource When Tuscaloosa gave up its electric trolley system, the cars were sold to the city of Montreal, Canada, in 1942. The postcard shows one of the cars in use in 1948. The information on the back of the postcard is shown. The history of Tuscaloosa's transportation came to light again when, in 2010, construction uncovered the old tracks. A Tuscaloosa News article, published on July 8, 2010, by news writer Robert DeWitt told the the history: Talk of a horse-drawn streetcar system began as early as 1871, according to “Matt Clinton's Scrapbook,” a history of Tuscaloosa. But the horse-drawn trolley didn't begin operations until 1882. It ran from the Alabama Great Southern railway at Greensboro Avenue and Hargrove Road to downtown and down University Boulevard, then called Broad Street. Among the horse-drawn system's claims to fame was one of its drivers. W.W. Brandon, known as “Plain Old Bill,” drove the streetcar for about year. He would later become Governor of Alabama and Brandon Armory on University Boulevard was named for him. A motorized line using a small steam locomotive was proposed in 1887. According to “Matt Clinton's Scrapbook,” the horse-drawn line remained in use until 1890. The steam line, also known as the Tuscaloosa Belt Railway, shuttled both passengers and freight around the city. Its lines were laid in public streets and it also used railroad rights of way. In 1915, the trolley line's corporate name became the Tuscaloosa Railway and Utilities Corporation. It followed a growing trend and converted to electric street cars, which lacked the smoke and noise of the steam lines. That same year the fare dropped from a dime to 5 cents. According to an article in Trolley Sparks magazine by Stephen D. Maguire, the line had five passenger cars, a line and work car and two electric freight locomotives. The eight miles of track included a 3-mile loop from the AGS to the University, up University Boulevard to downtown and back down to the train station. There was a four-mile line out to the paper mill and foundry at Holt and about a mile of siding for offloading freight in downtown. Three cars operated on the line at the same time, one running the loop clockwise and two running the loop and out to Holt counterclockwise. Every 30 minutes the clockwise streetcar and one of the counterclockwise trains met at a place on University Boulevard called Lawn Station. Druid City Hospital was formerly located there and it later became the location for the Russell Student Health Center. The cars were painted in a yellow livery with cream and blue trim. Two extra cars were kept on hand for spares in case of repairs. The line had its car house on Fourth Street across from what is now Wilhagens in a building now occupied by Utility Meter Services. All five of the cars could fit into the house. Alabama Power Co. eventually bought the electrified line. But cheap petroleum fuel, improving roads and better vehicle technology were about to change things. Bus systems began replacing electric trolleys in the 1930s. Bus routes could be changed to any street in town without laying new tracks. And buses were faster than street cars. These advantages led to the demise of the electric street car line in 1941.

Title A name given to the resource Rooster Bridge in Demopolis, 1919 Subject The topic of the resource Bridges Wilson, Woodrow, 1856-1924 Tombigbee River (Miss. and Ala.) Description An account of the resource Frank I. Derby, organizer of the 1919 Rooster Auction in Demopolis, Ala., accepts a rooster from President Woodrow Wilson. Derby is holding the rooster on a tray. The auction was held to raise money to build a bridge spanning the Tombigbee River. The Dixie Overland Highway Association was looking to complete a major road from Savannah, Ga., to San Diego, California,. The only spot along the route without a bridge was between Marengo and Sumter counties; a ferry connected them. Derby came up with the idea for a rooster auction to raise money for the bridge. At that time cock fighting was both legal and popular. Calling on politicians and businessmen, and working with others in both counties, Derby organized the famous two-day event. Working with Alabama's senator, they convinced President Woodrow Wilson and the prime minister of France, Georges Clemenceau; Great Britain's David Lloyd George, and Vittoria Orlando of Italy to donate roosters. Roosters were also donated by Gen. John J. Pershing and Hollywood personalities Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle, and Mary Pickford. Helen Keller sent a little blue hen. A rooster named "Bob Jones", which served as a model for auction publicity, was named for the famous evangelist. It sold for $7,500. Some buyers donated their roosters back again to be resold. The two-day event featured the largest barbecue and Brunswick stew dinner ever held in Alabama. The state legislature closed up shop, and all the politicians came to Demopolis. Trains carried folks from all over to the small West Alabama city. The sale raised enough in pledges to build the bridge, but not all the money was collected. The auction raised awareness that a bridge was needed, and the state came through. With local, state and federal money, the bridge was built. The bridge was named "Memorial Bridge," although no one in the area ever called it that. Everyone always referred to it as the "Rooster Bridge." Finally, under Congressman E.O. Eddins, the name was officially changed to the Demopolis Rooster Bridge honoring R.I. Derby. (Information provided by Patsy Derby Chaney, daughter of R.I.

Title A name given to the resource Josie W with Tow Leaving Tuscaloosa for Mobile, Ala, circa 1900 Subject The topic of the resource Railroads Trestles Black Warrior River (Ala.) Railroad bridges Mobile and Ohio Railroad Company Towboats Description An account of the resource The Mobile & Ohio (M&O) railroad trestle over the Black Warrior River between Tuscaloosa and Northport is shown in the background with the Josie W. leaving for Mobile. The M&O Railroad trestle is a wooden and steel truss bridge that was constructed across the Black Warrior River in Tuscaloosa for the M&O Railroad in 1898. Civil engineer Benjamin Hardaway, an 1887 graduate of the University of Alabama and former Tuscaloosa city engineer, designed the trestle. Originally 135 feet high with a 110 ft. clearance, it was once considered by many to be the country's longest trestle at 3600 feet. The designed included a passage for steamboats. The M & O ran between Columbus, Miss., and Montgomery. Until the M & O arrived, the Alabama and Chattanooga (known after 1878 as the Alabama Great Southern or AGS) was the area’s only railroad link. In the 1930’s M&O Railroad became the Gulf, Mobile and Ohio Railroad and then the Illinois Central Gulf and then the Kansas City Southern.
