Milwaukee and C&NW Bridge over Fox River in De Pere, WI

(Satellite, see topo map below. It was downstream from the dam.)

What an interesting bridge!  This one crosses the Fox River (of Wisconsin) at De Pere, Wisconsin.  This is an Ed Selinsky photo taken in April 1958.
Kurt Schlieter: This connected the C&NW on the west side of the Fox river with the Milwaukee Road tracks on the East side. There is still a spur on the west side which goes through DePere from the now CN line to the mill, where this photo was taken from. On the east side, there is a small section of bridge going from the city to the island.

no date

The C&NW was on the west side of the river, and the Milwaukee was on the east side. Since the Milwaukee no longer exists, the bridge is no longer needed.
