Those lights and standards would sell today...

I think you can buy reproductions or something quite similar.

Yup, and LEd retrofit easily.

Yep all suits not an honest working man among 'em :-)

Well, maybe that one guy with a working-man's cap and the bow tie. And the old geezer in the front, but I'll bet he's the original Mr. Mesta...

The longest suspension bridge in the world until ~1981.
It had a nickname that would not be proper these days.

Really? What's wrong with the "Very Narrow Zano's Bridge"? PC enough for me.
And the spelling, a second 'z', wasn't corrected until 2018. May have been other search returns, YMMV.

Glad I got to see the enlarged photo. Was not sure what the third and fourth men from bottom were walking on. Since I have an "issue" with heights - this would have been an impossible job for me.
