Historic black-and-white photo of the original wooden Black Bridge in Jackson, Minnesota, circa 1880s. The image shows a timber trestle railroad bridge crossing the Des Moines River, surrounded by sparse trees and grassy banks. The structure appears weathered, with large wooden supports and rails overhead, evoking the early days of rail expansion in rural Minnesota.
