Apparently there are five bridges on this line which cross the Clark Fork River and this is the fifth. This is a smallish bridge of 165 feet in length, resting on massive concrete piers, with steel girder extensions on each end. Which line this is we're not certain, but we suspect it's the Milwaukee Line.

Coordinates given are at a viewpoint directly north of the bridge.
