Bridge Hutner and Linda call this the Elkins Swinging Bridge, but Google Maps labels it the Duck Bridge. I count five ducks.

The Shay used the bridge two years after it was reconstructed. BridgeHunter calls 2006 the built date for this bridge.

This is the depot where the DGVR trains terminate. The railroad bridge is peaking out by the tree on the right side of this view. The grey building was a Feed Mill that now houses two museums. [Dennis DeBruler]
