Silent Bridge         
Up until the mid 2000s, the old Minneapolis, Northfield, and Southern felt the weight of trains of the Twin Cities and Western bringing grain to and from Savage. Now that the Minnesota River MNS swing bridge is listed as "out of service," it is up in the air when the next train will make its weight felt on this veteran bridge over Highway 13 and the Union Pacific (ne-CNW nee-Omaha Road).

John Marvig General When I was at the MN River Bridge on 11-20-11, they were repairing part of the south approaches. It looks like another train may be coming soon 11/20/2011 9:21:41 PM
Eric Ecklund General I also saw repairs being done to the bridge in the spring of 2012. Visited the bridge many times but no signs of train movement. Maybe someday. 8/13/2014 1:08:05 AM
