A few hundred yards east of the highway bridge the railroad crosses Lake Britton on this bridge. The bridge was constructed in 1954/1955 and cost over $250,000. One construction worker was killed when a span that was being put into place slipped and ended up plunging into the lake below. This picture dates from 1959 and is by and courtesy of Ed Burggraf. |
