80-G-687598 "Carlson's Canyon" Bridge Attacks, March-April 1951

Photo #: 80-G-687598 Carlson's Canyon Bridge Attacks, March-April 1951 Photograph Carlson's Canyon # 12, taken 2 April 1951 showing the damage done by the 5th and 6th Navy carrier air strikes, flown on that day. All the laboriously-repaired bridge spans were destroyed and the concrete piers further damaged. The bridge was originally knocked out by Navy carrier planes on 3 March, was repaired and destroyed by air strikes on 15 March, repaired again and totally wrecked on 2 April. After that, it was abandoned and a bypass constructed. This railway bridge-tunnel complex was located south of Kilchu, in northeastern Korea. Note numerous bomb craters in the vicinity.
