The lower deck is now a trail. Given the absence of a lift span, the railroad is obviously abandoned.

| James Neal Jeter posted I took this photo in March of 1982. Southern Railway switcher with train headed south from Florence across the bridge on the Tennessee River to Sheffield. James Neal Jeter: According to the Old Railroad Bridge website trains ran on the bridge until 1988 and NS removed the lift span in the spring of 1992 and relocated it to Hannibal MO. |
"The surviving spans are rare double-deck, pin-connected Warren truss spans." A swing span was replace by a lift span in 1962. [HistoricBridges]
