NKP(Cloverleaf) Bridge over Kaskaskia River east of Cowden, IL
(no Bridge Hunter, Satellite)
Judging from the concrete footing pads you can still see on the east side, it appears the wood trestle was replaced with a steel trestle. I assume the truss was also upgraded because this one looks rather lightweight. The Cloverleaf was originally built as a narrow gauge railroad through here.
