Charlie:
I copied the following information from a book in the BNSF Kansas City Structures office.
Bridge 16.44 – Highlands – Oak Street OH.
The oldest record indicates that the piles were driven in 1900.
The balance of the bridge was built in 1910, including a wood Queen truss.
The entire bridge was rebuilt in 1928, including a steel Queen truss replacing the old wood truss.
The entire bridge was replaced again in 1958 with a 48’ TPG span which was new.
I specifically looked up this information, because someone had mentioned in the past that the most recent girder span was from an old turntable, and wondered where it came from. The record in the bridge office does not mention anything regarding whether any
of the spans were second-hand from a turntable.

Subject: [CBQ] Oak Street Bridge near Highlands Depot
All-
Has anyone nailed down where the turntable girders came from that were used
to replace the Queen Post Span on the Oak Street Bridge?
I am writing captions for the Highlands chapter and would like to record the
information if it is known.
Thanks,
Charlie Vlk
