Thank you for show photo of railroad bridge over Missouri River. It is two truss bridges like in 1888. It is make George S Morison. I remember four truss bridge over Missouri River in Sioux City, Iowa. It was built in 1888. It was lost since 1973. i have no time take picture at Sioux City, Iowa. it was too late.
THANK YOU.
The highway span looks simular to the recently demolished Hermann Bridge. I wonder if this bridge was designed and built by the same company as the Hermann span. PLUS I am sure a UCEB or a steel stringer span exists there today. Is the old railroad bridge still standing?
