Comments/Directions:
The 1,500 foot long railroad bridge between Sioux City and "South Soo" was built in 1982 by Burlington Northern, replacing the 1888 bridge built by the Omaha Road (CSPM&O rr) at the same location. Some may have called the bridge the "Union Bridge" since it was used by several lines early on. Established in 1880, the Omaha Road was controlled by 1882 by the Great Northern Railroad, which through mergers became Burlington Northern by 1970; and BN merged in 1996 to BNSF.
