Webmaster's note: The photos that were here have been incorporated into the main site.
This bridge is in really sad shape. As of today, they have put orange barrels along the rails because the curbing is gone and all the rebar is visible. Just to the north you can see an old bridge abutment for the Union Pacific railroad.
