Description
Unique all concrete railroad bridge.
Brief history:
Written by J. Randall Houp
This old bridge was a big surprise. This unique railroad bridge is all concrete and the only one that I have found between Little Rock and the Oklahoma border on the former Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railroad, aka, Rock Island. Bridge is in need of repair, including all new railroad ties.
