Looks like this bridge is the same as the Browns bridge.
The postcard shows a view of the bridge looking north from the Railroad trestle bridge.

I think there was another bridge, just west of this one over the Big Vermilion river.

Mike, this looks like the same bridge I listed as the Backbone road bridge. I have it alternately called the "Red Bridge"

The county has rehabilitated 3 Historical bridges in the past 2 years(with some help from government grants). It's a shame that this bridge couldn't be rehabilitated or moved to another area.
