From google.books.com bridgehunter.com St. Louis Mountain & Southern Railway Strauss Underneath Counterweight Bascule Bridge is removed in Corning, AR crossing the Black River.

Douglas Butler: Dennis DeBruler can you confirm this bridge being from Corning, AR or somewhere else?

At first, I didn't think so. The big piers are consistent with a short span on the north end and a long truss for the rest of the bridge, but the north pier is not consistent with the bridge abutment in the photo. (The small pier near the middle would have been added when they rebuilt the bridge with steel girders.) https://www.google.com/.../@36.3640128.../data=!3m1!1e3...

Then I found this May 2013 image of Google Earth. The north end is more consistent with the photo.

And this Sep 2020 image is even more consistent. But now I'm left with the question of why is the north end changing so much over a 10-year period? Google Earth provides a Nov 2022 date for the current satellite image.
