White River Bridge
| Elevated view of the Wiscsonsin Central's bridge over the White River, about six miles south of Ashland. The bridge was 1600 ft. long and 110 ft. above the water. Two people are standing on top of the bridge leaning on the railing. Another man is perched below them on a support beam. The perspective of this photograph illustrates well why the White River Bridge was considered a marvel of railroad engineering. The bridge was dismantled and sold for scrap in 1909. |
