EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Northern Pacific Railroad bridge crossing the majestic Missouri River at Bismarck, North Dakota, in the early 1900s. The bridge, an engineering marvel of its time, is seen here in all its glory as a train approaches from the distance, its steam billowing in the cool morning air. The Northern Pacific Railroad, a transcontinental railroad that spanned from Minnesota to the Pacific Northwest, played a pivotal role in the development of the American West. The construction of the bridge over the Missouri River at Bismarck began in 1881 and was completed in 1883. It was the longest railroad bridge in the world at the time, measuring 2,262 feet in length. The image showcases the bridge's impressive structure, with its towering piers and elegant arches, as they gracefully span the wide river. In the foreground, the train, a symbol of progress and modernity, adds a sense of movement and dynamism to the scene. The huts of the railroad workers can be seen on the left bank of the river, a reminder of the human effort and ingenuity that went into building this engineering feat. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the railroad was the primary means of transportation and communication across the vast expanse of America. It is a testament to the rich history of rail transport in the United States and the indelible mark it left on the American landscape.
