Blasterz would have hung out here all day watching trains if we could have had more time to spend in the surprisingly cute town of Minot.

This VERY LONG pedestrian bridge goes from 8th Street over the BN yard near the Soo Line depot in downtown Minot.

From Bridgehunter.com: (visit link)

"This bridge is a purpose-built footbridge. The portals for the truss are about 8 feet high. It is a very small span for a through truss bridge. It is made up of one 10 panel and one 12 panel Pratt through truss footbridge. Both "approach spans" are stairways."
Parking Coordinates:: N 48° 14.261 W 101° 17.569
