Bridges & Tunnels posted two photos with the comment:
Researching the history of certain bridges—especially railroad crossings—can be difficult due to limited records and inaccessible sources. The Verdigris River crossing of the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad (BNSF) near Catoosa, Oklahoma, has an uncertain early history. The current bridge opened in December 1970 as part of the McClellan-Kerr Arkansas River Navigation System, but it's had at least two earlier iterations.Of course, my research isn't complete by any means. I've contacted BNSF to see if there is information to be obtained, and I'm always interested in corrections/updates from others as well.📸 More photos + history: https://bridgestunnels.com/.../verdigris-river-railroad.../
Daren Genau: I suggest you figure out who the original Railroad was and contact that historical Society. BNSF doesn’t know shit about their history.
Might be Frisco or Santa Fe
Bridges & Tunnels: Daren Genau Thanks! The local historic society was actually asking others about the bridge’s history so I’ll start with some railroading oriented groups.
