My friend Jim Klas took this photo of that CNW bridge in 2014 before the foundation was rebuilt. My photo [above] was from 2016 after the work was completed.

The comparison between 1894 trusses, 1994 deck girders and 2014 piers will be interesting. The trusses were deemed far stronger than minimum freight rail requirements, and are expected to last much longer. Photos coming soon. Work to be complete in May..."
