Located west of Baldwin, this deck plate girder bridge crosses the Rush River near 200th Street.
According to railroad documents, the bridge was built in 1894 to replace an older wood bridge. An additional track was added onto the south side in 1912 as part of a widening project.
Utilizing a standard design, the bridge features a single deck girder span, set onto stone substructures. A distinct difference between the 1894 and 1912 stonework can be noted.
Currently, the southern track is in use with an open deck. The north track was removed in 1962, although the span remains as a ballasted deck structure serving an access road.
Overall, the bridge appears to be in fair to good condition, with no significant deterioration noted.
The author has ranked this bridge as being locally significant, due to the common design.
