Soo Line on ex MN&S "Savage Swing" |
Description: |
This bridge was built in 1910 and was to be double track. The second track was never added and instead a road was put in. Eventually the road was closed due to all the salt used to melt snow on the road in winter caused excessive rust on the structure. |
