Ironwork
Title:  Ironwork
Description:  You can see the two types of iron in this bridge. This subdivision was 220 miles long and had 180 bridges! Niobrara was home to 2 Bridge Crews. 1 worked East and 1 worked West. Probably a big reason this line was abandonded.

Title:  How about an abandonded town?
Description:  While the primary focus of this trip (besides a family gathering) was to document as best I could the rr lines I could not go through without mentioning the town of Niobrara. This is main street. The town was moved in 1974 because of concerns about flooding.
