CN/DM&IR 1916 Bridge over St. Louis River at Oliver, WI

(Bridge Hunter, no Historic Bridges, John Weeks III) For John Marvig, I found an Oliver Approach Bridge, but not his bridge.

DM&IR = Duluth, Missabe & Iron Range Railway

Its center pier design is rather unique.

DOT
Innovative design of a swinging, double
-deck, Warren through/deck truss main 
span with rail traffic above and vehicular 
traffic below, created to meet 
challenging site conditions and federal 
regulation. This feature includes a 
center-pivot bearing mechanism for the 
swing span.
