Magazine First Bridge

I'm doing extentive research and gathering old photographs of all Logan County Steel Truss Bridges. Does anyone have any old photographs of ANY of the Petit Jean River Bridges? Also searching for any historical data and fascinating old stories pertaining to these bridges. Please contact:

no photos of this lost beauty, all i can do is leave a story or two. my father told me a few weeks ago something i never knew. in my life - at the southern portal of this bridge, the road began ascending up & over Potts ridge where the road had been cut through the hillside. but that was not always the case. from the bridges construction until the 1950's the road originally made an immdeiate left turn exiting the south portal and going along the ridge east to the gap in the ridge at billy goat bluff. my father on horseback with some other cow hands drove cattle across this old pratt through truss wooden deck bridge at times. the north approach to this bridge cruved about 5 degrees to the east, and sadly on new years 1950, a Mr. Adair was killed when his car plunged through the railing on the approach.
