Wasta Rail Bridge
The Wasta Rail Bridge is in the town of Wasta, South Dakota on Highway 1416 just east of town. The bridge is unique due to its relocation history on the spans of the bridge. Railroads back in the days believed in relocating bridges from main lines to branch lines as a way to recycle. Part of this bridge came from Winona, Minnesota. The bridge also consists of 2 types of through trusses - including quadrangular and warren spans. This bridge was constructed in the 1920s.
