Lot of two original black and white snapshot photographs dated August 1940 showing the railroad bridge crossing the Missouri River between Bismarck and Mandan, North Dakota. These 3.5 x 2.5 inch vintage photographs document mid-century railroad infrastructure over one of the region’s most significant river crossings. Strong interest for railroadiana, bridge engineering, and North Dakota history collectors. Original photographs, not reproductions. That crossing is historically significant because it connects and over the — a major transportation artery. Railroad bridge imagery over major rivers always has collector interest. Dated August 1940
