The Q bridge at Nebraska City, NE as originally built, now gone...dynamited in 
Dec 81 was a?shared operation....
with "highway"...mostly horses, wagons buggies etc.? It was not a double deck 
bridge as was the ASB bridge in KC...IIRC, but was a single deck with the 
railroad deck planked so that it could be driven over.

My dad attended the University of NE at Lincoln in the 1920's and remembers 
traveling over the bridge via auto...

A highway toll bridge was built in the 1930's to replace the shared auto 
operation.....This bridge was also demolished about 10 years or so ago replaced 
by a new 4 lane highway bridge.....

Interestingly the fill dirt which constituted the long? railroad approach from 
the Iowa side was moved south about 1/2 mile or so and used to construct a 
similar approach for Hwy 2 which, being constructed almost to interstate 
standards connects I 80 at Lincoln to I 29 just east of Nebraska City near what 
us old railroaders knew as Payne...early timetables labeled it East Nebraska 
City

Test question...What did ASB stand for???

Speaking of bridges, did the Q have any bridges shared with auto traffic?
The SP (now UP) has a swing bridge in Sacramento that has double track on
the lower deck and automobile roadway on the upper deck.

Best regards,

Randy
