Hi Harold thanks for the response. I've spent quite a bit of time on the LOC
site (the stuff on Dubuque is awesome) but I don't ever recall coming across
the bridge in question. I'll certainly look again.
Considering it was RR property and was only around for about 40 years I'm not
expecting much. I guess I'm just hoping someone remembers this area and can
fill in this last piece of the puzzle.
