| Brian Butko posted If you're following the Lincoln Highway through Nebraska, be sure to get off US 30 between Duncan and SIlver Creek to travel a stretch of gravel LH that includes this iron truss bridge across Prairie Creek. |

In 2019, UP replaced the railroad bridge that is in the background of Brian's photo at the top of these notes. We can see the top of the truss in the right side of this view.
