The picture was taken in Winona, MN. It is a great picture of the whole bridge, as all that’s left today are 4 sections to the right of the swing bridge. The bridge may be gone but railroading is alive and booming in Winona. I just finished a couple of 11 hour days on the UP local. If it keeps going they will have to add a night job!
Great Information:

It is one of my all time favorite Threads here, Naniamo73,[ and a number of others also contributed to it, as well] started it and there is much information on probably, all of the bridges on the Mississippi River from Minnesota to NOLA.
