Abandoned bridge piers in the Potomac River at Harpers Ferry, viewed from the current Winchester and Potomac Railroad Bridge. The piers shown here are part of an earlier bridge that was built and destroyed several times during the American Civil War before being abandoned before the war's end.

The unusual lighting comes from a set of floodlights, which were aimed at the bridge to aid CSX work crews conducting track maintenance in the area.
