In December of 2010 a pair of IC&E SD40-2s lead CP 277 west through Wisconsin Dells. It was bone chilling cold but worth it to see this!

[Evidently this lower deck used to carry a road. But the road has been removed and additional bracing has been added. The vertical columns in the middle are on just one side because one of the initial two tracks on the bridge has been removed. And diagonal bracing has been added at the two ends.]

Update: Given the date of 1877, this must have been the predecessor of the above 1903 bridge.

The railroad tracks are on the top level. This photograph was taken in when the Wisconsin Dells was still known as Kilbourn.” (Wisconsin Historical Society)
