I saw this movie when it came out in 1957, and I will tell you that when that train fell into river and the bridge collapsed, everyone in the theater spontaneously jumped and whistled and shouted. I was just a kid, and didn't understand the nuances of the film, but it was Thrilling! However, nowadays I prefer the lovely flower bedecked bridge in your photo, Sheila.
