So at first I didn't realize that most of
TCB:FR 3N was a bridge and just passed through without dropping it. When I had cleared most of the other rooms on the level I came back to it and discovered my error.
Unfortunately I also found that it was impossible to do anything from the western entrance. So I had to restore from before leaving the room and then replay the rest of the level.
This doesn't seem in line with the rest of the level design so I suppose it could be classified as a bug?
