Love the history of that bridge!

Great video! Stumbled across your channel looking for info on the winter of 1880. Have you ever thought about doing a piece on the Arcola high bridge? Hard to find a lot of info on it. Thanks, keep up the great work!

After watching a few of your videos I had to subscribe.

I would like to see some of the other bridges. Broadway
Plymouth. Camden. Them were some cool bridges

I took passenger trains many times across this bridge (mostly NP, GN) for years ending in 1971. Great history. Now, all it has become is a pedestrian/bike path used my people with no concept of the history of Twin Cities railroading in general, and this bridge in particular. Thanks.

Thanks for capstones.

On a unrelated but still historical fact: did the railroad play a role in bringing back home American survivors of the titanic who lived or were bound for Minnesota?

Shame the Army Corps was allowed to butcher the downtown side for the unneeded and (relatively) short lived lock. As for the gorge between the Stone Arch and Fort Snelling, hopefully the day will come when the Ford dam is removed and the roar from eight miles of mighty rapids can be heard for miles once again.
