Title:  CCBX 58859
Description:  A view off Centennial Bridge looking generally west. The former DRI (now part of the CP system) yard lies between Highway 92 and the Mississippi River. The Crescent Bridge across the river can be seen thru the trees. A nice recreational trail runs atop the dike giving a nice view of the railroads on both sides of the river, not to mention the river itself.
