This photo may be from the 1880's, when George Morrison built bridges across the Missouri River at Plattsmouth, Blair, Omaha/Council Bluffs, Rulo, and Nebraska City and including an all-steel multi-span Whipple bridge at Sioux City. http://www.blairhistory.com/landmarks/blair_bridge/references.htm View is similar to 1st photo, looking northeasterly from NE to IA, and showing the "yet-to-be" "Stockyards" area. Cudahy came in 1892, Armour in 1901, and Swift and Company began operations in 1917. Pilings were likely used during construction of the bridge? http://www.siouxcityhistory.org/commerce/79-sioux-city-stock-yards
