Black Canyon Bridge west of Sapinero
| November 26, 2013 03:43PM |
I understand the Rio Grande Lake City Branch
was scrapped about 1934. Does anyone
know when the iron bridge at mp 314.78 was
moved (or scrapped)?

From the other bank of the Gunnison looking westbound.
Overview looking eastbound.
Any info on the wooden thru truss at this location would be appreciated as well. The low auto bridge (or a replacement) was washed out in 1944
and I assume it was upgraded when it was replaced.
