Freddy has his own Bridge

Freddy is Frederick, Maryland - and the bridge crosses over the Monocacy River. The information here comes from Wikipedia: The Monocacy River Railroad Bridge and Viaduct is a 326-foot (99 m) open deck steel girder bridge with two main spans crossing the river and two viaduct sections crossing the floodplain, south of Walkersville, Maryland. Originally constructed by the Frederick and Pennsylvania Line Railroad Company (F&PL). Construction began in late 1871, and continued until July 1872 when the railroad opened that year. It was rebuilt by the Pennsylvania Railroad first in 1900-1905 as an open deck riveted iron plate under girder bridge.

This is the bridge seen in the picture on the front of this post card. In 1915, the bridge was surveyed as part of the Interstate Commerce Commission's ("ICC") effort to establish freight rates for the parent railroad. In 1927, the Pennsylvania Railroad rebuilt the bridge again using deeper and thicker steel girders, but leaving the masonry piers intact. In 1972, the two 85 foot river spans were washed out by Hurricane Agnes. In 1982, the State of Maryland purchased the bridge as part of the railroad line. In 1995, the State rebuilt the river spans and Pier 3 which is located in the middle of the river crossing was completely reconstructed using concrete to replace the original masonry foundations. In 2015, the State performed minor maintenance on the structure and painted some spans. As of 2016, the bridge is in active rail service, operated by the Walkersville Southern RR.

The post card was printed by Curt Otto Teich in about 1913. I pick that up from the code at the middle, bottom of the back of the card. Between 1908 and 1928 the company printed cards with the code A- something. There were 124,180 cards printed using this numbering system. When I interpolate A-35803 between A-1 and A-124180: A-1 is in 1908 and A-124180 is in 1928. That puts A-35806 in the year 1913.
