I was surprised that the Mississippi River was this wide so far north in Minnesota.
1871
Either this is the 1871 bridge that collapsed later that year or it is the 1871 bridge with new 1875 spans because the bridge collapsed in 1871. Note that this bridge appears to be made with wood.

| Marty Bernard posted 2. Northern Pacific Railroad bridge across the Mississippi River at Brainerd, MN circa 1875. Photographs and captions from the Minnesota Historical Society Chris Hennebry: Didn't this one collapse, when a train went over it? |
 |
| Dennis DeBruler commented on Chris' comment Yes, during the year this photo was taken. I wonder if the men are standing on the replacement span. |

This bridge was probably built with iron.
