Old GN Bridge         
Here's remains of a old Great Northern Bridge outside St. Cloud. This bridge used to cross the Elk River. This is also the old GN line that went from St. Cloud to Brook Park. The tracks are gone and most is a trail, this line was going to be owned by the SCXY, but the tracks were too unstable and the line was closed and the tracks ripped up. If anyone has any info on this line and what happened to this bridge, please pass it on to me

Jacob Nelson General Had no idea the SCXY was going to own it. I had heard once that the SOO was going to be a potential owner at one time but it fell through. Too bad the line will never see tracks again. Must have been a good Willmar/Sioux Falls to Superior connection at one time 12/1/2012 9:16:49 PM
Tom Dethmers General This line was ripped out from Mora to St. Cloud in about 1984, way before SCXY came about. SCXY did serve Mora for a little while, but BN removed the bridges about the same time the tracks came out. It is a line they should have kept. 11/28/2018 5:27:58 PM
