So any use of the word "Capstone" in other articles links here, and yet there's no mention of the word on the page anywhere. Short of looking it up in Wiktionary I still don't know what a capstone is, which rather makes the linking somewhat unhelpful. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.174.54.232 (talk) 02:43, 30 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The coping stones in thhe current picture are bearly visible - sandwiched between the arches and the concrete deck, and partly obscured by the facade. There must be a better picture somewhere. Obscurasky (talk) 21:42, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I've just gone ahead and changed it anyway. Admittedly not such an impressive bridge, but it is a much better illustration of coping stones. Obscurasky (talk) 21:52, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
