INITIAL SCAN BY NPIC OF MISSION 745N OF 9 SEPT.
1966 REVEALS THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION ON THE VINH/DONG HOI
RAIL LINE:
A. THE PREVIOUSLY REPORTED SERVICEABLE RAIL BRIDGE LOCATED
AT 1753N 10601E (UTM XE078786) IS NOW UNSERVICEABLE. THE RAIL
DECKING HAS BEEN REMOVED. THREE SUPPORTING A-FRAMES AND TWO
CABLES ARE OBSERVED. THIS SUGGEST THAT THE RAIL DECKING MIGHT
BE REMOVED AND REPLACED AT WILL IN AN ATTEMPT TO AVOID
DESTRUCTION BY AIR STRIKES. THE REMOVED RAIL DECKING IS
POSSIBLY LOCATED ON THE SE APPROACH, BUT PHOTOGRAPHY PRECLUDES
A POSITIVE IDENTIFICATION.
B. A PARTIALLY CONCEALED RAIL SPUR IS OBSERVED EXTENDING
NORTH FROM THE MAIN LINE AT 1759N 10555E (UTM WE979884 TO UTM
WE 979886).
