| Marty Bernard posted Moving a Depot Across a River Bridge Winona & Western Depot being moved from 4th to 2nd St. SE over the Zumbro River, Rochester, MN. Olmstead Historical Society photo, Walt Dunlap collection I have now learned that this is only 1/2 the station. It was cut in half and each half moved separately. |
Did they build a trestle bridge for the move or was there a trestle bridge before the truss bridge?

I would have had to stand in the middle of 4th St to accurately recreate the shot. |
