Jon, Correct BNSF owns and maintains the bridge that crosses the Mississippi Erik On Tuesday, January 12, 2016 9:35 AM, "jzook@comcast.net [CBQ]" <CBQ@yahoogroups.com> wrote: Good morning Doug, Thanks for sharing the maps. This really helps me understand how the line ran across the river. I just realized this morning, scrolling a bit further north in Google Earth, that the mainline RR bridge spanning the Mississippi river crossed Quinsippi island up there. I didn't realize the line shown in the photo was a loop from the north, as I originally thought the bridge in the photo continued to the west across the river. Google Earth pretty clearly shows the location of the grade on Quinsippi Island passing by the marina. Is it safe to assume the current bridge spanning the Mississippi to West Quincy is owned and maintained by BNSF? Please pardon my ignorance. I'm just starting to be educated on the intricacies of the Q. I live in the Denver metro area, and my main interest is Rio Grande narrow gauge with a side interest in the Colorado & Southern. Have a great day! Jon
