Little Suamico Railroad Bridge

Posted April 22, 2013, by Jim Hanna (jimsjoynt [at] hotmail [dot] com)

This is an old C&NW bridge, now owned by the Canadian National not the Canadian Pacific.

The old C&NW bridge at Oconto may have been built to swing, I was born in Oconto 64 years ago. That bridge never did turn.
