A brief history of the Union Pacific Adams Subdivision:


06/16/22


This standard concrete arch crosses the Fox River, near Ingle.
It is structurally very similar to the Kowald Road Bridge, which is just west of here.
The structure was built in 1910, and can serve double track capabilities. Overall, the bridge appears to be in good condition.

The author has ranked the bridge as being locally significant, due to the common design.
The bridge however is very obscured from Kowald Road. The photo above is an overview.
