Omaha Road Railroad Swing Bridge; Saint Paul, Minnesota
This swing bridge was built by the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis, and Omaha Railroad in 1915. It's currently shared by the Union Pacific and Soo Line (Canadian Pacific) Railroads. The design is unique. Because the pivot is so close to shore, one end of the span is much longer than the other. The shorter end is counterbalanced by cement weights.
