From Wikipedia:

Niobrara River Bridge (Niobrara State Park, Nebraska)

The Niobrara River Bridge is a triple-span railroad bridge over the Niobrara River in Niobrara State Park, Knox County, Nebraska, that was built in 1929.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.

It is one of few multi-span railroad bridges in Nebraska.

In March 2019, a flood exacerbated by the collapse of the Spencer Dam upstream washed away six spans of the bridge, including one of the truss spans. The bridge is closed to the public.
