Old And New |
| Description: |
The Luce Line Trail bridge over the Crow River is now a mix of old and new. The center span is vintage Minnesota Western/Louie/North Western, but the approach spans are all Luce Line. |

Rail And Trail |
| Description: |
The reason the Luce Line's Crow River bridge is a mix of rail and trail is because the trestle approach spans were torn out post-abandonment but the center span was retained. The result was this hybrid when the trail was built. Shame about those trestle approach spans, but you can still smell the railroad on the center span. |

Looking east along the Luce Line from White St. I wish this line still was in operation, but oh well. |

Looking Toward The Crow |
| Description: |
A view south-southwest from White St. looking toward the Crow River and the bridge. Too bad about those approach trestles, but the trail was not a done deal when the rails went up after abandonment in 1970. |
