Academia Paraibana de Letras recounts memory of Rio Piancó bridge

A literary piece from the Academia Paraibana de Letras recounts a personal memory set near the Rio Piancó on the way to Pombal. The narrative describes a scene involving a man named Seu Abílio riding a bicycle across a train bridge built in the early 1930s during the Getúlio Vargas presidency.

The story details a tense moment where a train approaches the bridge, forcing the cyclist to make a split-second decision to protect his cargo of potatoes by attempting to maneuver the bicycle against a concrete pillar.
