The Minneapolis Western Railway crossed the Mississippi River on a trestle at this location.
Minneapolis Western was a terminal railway operating limited trackage on both sides of the river.
The bridge was abandoned and dismantled years ago, and very little remains today.

Railroad bridges were built at 56 locations to cross the Mississippi River,
and 36 of these crossings are still in use by freight railroads.
