CP/Milwaukee Davenport Waterworks Trestle

(Bridge Hunter broke on Mar 22, 2023; John Marvig; 3D Satellite)

When I think of the CP in Davenport, I think of the tracks by the river front being underwater during floods.  But while looking for street views of the water works, I discovered that upstream from those riverfront tracks, CP has a wood trestle. It surprises me every time I see a Class I railroad still using wood in their bridge

In addition to a couple of rather long wood trestles, the double pony-truss spans over US-67 is also rather unique.
