1908 Aban/Milwaukee Bridge over Clark Fork River at St Regis, MT

(Archived Bridge Hunter; no Historic Bridges; Satellite)

John Harker posted two images with the comment: "James C Herold caught this Milw west bound freight crossing the Clark Fork River at St Regis, Montana on July 5, 1973.  The Milw power included GP40 2058, U36C 8501 and another GP40.  This view looks to the southeast.  The bridge is still in place except for the west end in the foreground which has been dismantled over the road.  Attached is a recent aerial map for reference.  John Harker photo editing and collection."
Jessica Wray: I believe the removed girders from this bridge were used to rebuild the MRL 2nd Sub bridge over the Yellowstone River after its collapse last summer [Summer of 2023].

The BNSF locomotives in the lower-right corner are on the former Northern Pacific. That route had been operated by Montana Rail Link, but I have read that BNSF has taken that route back from them.
