The Northeast Approach

This was formerly a two-track mainline but has been reduced to one. The tracks run on a southeast to northwest angle and County Highway E curves to accommodate the alignment of the tracks.

The Southwest Approach

On the northwest side of the span are two holes where the manufacturer's plate used to live. Like its counterpart about a mile northwest of here, on CTH DJ, perhaps it was built by the obscure Two Holes In Span Bridge Works.
