Collins River Railroad Bridge
Posted July 31, 2017, by Timothy Jones (DT1712 [at] yahoo [dot] com)

The bridge is a Warren deck style bridge approx. 450 feet long. It was built shortly after the Civil War, about 1870. It is suspect that it was built by the Memphis & Charleston Railroad, which is the same company that built the bridge at Rock Island, Tenn. in 1871-72, across the Caney Fork River. The Nashville, Chattanooga, & St. Louis bought the McMinnville & Manchester from the M&C in 1877 and completed the line from McMinnville to Sparta by 1884.
