The major reconstructions of the bridge included the new east abutment and covering the timber pilings in concrete. Beside those and other additions including a new deck, hand railings, lighting, etc., the original bridge was left mostly intact.

Although the railroad was built in 1881, I believe that the original timber pile bridge was replaced with this bridge sometime around 1900-1910, possibly when Illinois Traction first started using the track.

The bridge DID partially collapse and the rest of the timbers were used in the replica that was built.

Rankin Railroad Bridge (Illinois)
Posted April 8, 2011

James,

Here are a few pictures of the old railroad yard east of town which was abandoned in 1940 and razed in 1941. All of these are from the Rankin library, which was formerly the station.

The first picture is a view looking east at the roundhouse and turntable.

The second one is looking west towards town.

The third one is of the coal dock.

The forth one is an aerial view from 1940 after the yard was abandoned.

I hope these are useful to you.
