Two views of the bridge over the highway on the NP line from Davenport to Eleanor. I'm puzzled by it being over a paved road in the 1960s. It makes me think the road may be the modern Highway 231 that heads south to Edwall from Highway 2 right at the RR Museum. I need to print this out and drive over there one day to look. I imagine the fills on either side of the highway are still there. Also, there could be a paved road closer to Davenport that went under the RR and this isn't Highway 231. This photo was likely taken from mid-1963 to 1965. I'm pretty sure I had my drivers license when I took this, and that is our family's '56 Olds showing in the second shot.

Definitely would appreciate an "after" pick what it looks like today.
And that '56 Olds is a beauty, like to have that nowadays!
We should do that soon!

Yes. I believe he is correct. On google maps, I found the exact spot over highway 231. The approaches are still there and even remnants of some of the pilings.
I'll definitely stop by.
