A railroad bridge across the Colorado River between San Saba and Lometa in the US state of Texas burned down and collapsed.

According to local media, fire fighters spent 15 hours attempting to extinguish the blaze, before deciding to let it burn out.

The railroad is understood to be used to transport freight and it is estimated it could cost up to $10m (£6.6m) to rebuild.
