Old Emerson Bridge

The old Emerson Bridge...

It has carried many a train over the Red River. It once also carried many a horse-drawn carriage, a sign on the bridge still hanging there when I was young that said, "Walk your horses and keep to the right..."

    Great picture. I remember going with my Dad to Emerson when he would haul (and sell water) for his water business. Best, Mike

    Great photo -- I can't believe that sign is still up there!! I still have dreams (nightmares?) about crossing over that bridge. It was pretty old even when I was little (it was the "old bridge" as opposed to the "new bridge"), & my sister & I used to hold our breath as we drove over it, en route to our grandparents' farm outside of town.

  3. Yes, my own mother took me over the bridge just for 'fun' and I was holding MY breath the whole way over...!
