Under Burlington Rail Bridge

The Burlington Rail Bridge spans the width of the mighty Mississippi River, between Burlington, IA and Gulfport, IL.  This double track, vertical-lift bridge was built in 2010, replacing the single swing bridge that has been allowing trains to cross the bridge since 1893.  The five 250 ft. fixed trusses make for quite an impressive view, whether on land or in the water.  This is actually one of my favorite views of the bridge, being right underneath of the Rail Bridge.
