An old Milwaukee railroad bridge crossing the St. Joe River west of St. Maries Idaho. The bridge was built in 1909. It is no longer used by trains, but has been converted to a one lane auto bridge. Always thought it was unique, with two 150' spans over a lovely spot on one my favorite rivers.
Have a terrific Thursday!

Looking down on the well-located viewing platform near Idaho's Upper Mesa Falls. Wider view of falls for reference in comments.
Upper Mesa Falls is 114 feet / 35 meters high and 300 feet / 91 meters wide.
Unlike most rivers in southeast Idaho, Henrys Fork of the Snake River is not fed directly from streams draining the Teton and Yellowstone mountains, but instead originates from Big Springs, a first magnitude spring 6 miles from the continental divide in the Targhee National Forest. So large are the springs (producing 120 million gallons of 52°F water per day; in the top 40 on earth by volume) that they create a full size river 150 feet wide just a little way downstream.
Thanks for taking a look!
