Built in 1984, the BNSF railroad lift bridge at Prescott spans the Saint Croix River, but it is located at the point where the Saint Croix River flows into the Mississippi River. This is one industrial strength bridge. Everything is massive, from the steel in the truss sections, the large counterweights, the massive towers, to the huge motor assemblies at the top of the towers. The bridge has to be strong to endure the pounding that it takes day in and day out, with an average of 40 trains per day, and a lot of them carrying iron ore. The lift bridge is operated frequently in the summer due to a high volume of recreational boaters on this section of the river.
I have been taking photographs since my Mom gave me my first camera for my 16th birthday. Sure wish we'd had digital way back then. I have no formal training but people tell me I have a good eye. I enjoy taking photos of just about anything, but prefer landscapes and nature photography. I also enjoy using the available filters in Paint Shop Pro. Even Ansel Adams fiddled with his photos by using exacto knives and chemicals. :) If you would like wording added to any of these images, or a color image in black and white, or a black and white image in color, please send me an email through this site, and I will be very happy to customize for you. Thanks for viewing my work.

Thanks very much, Micah. :)

Congratulations Kristin! Your astonishing image represents the spirit of the group Electronics And Mechanics that I want to convey! There is a thank you thread on the discussions tab if you would like to archive it there.
Kristin Elmquist
Thanks, Randy, and I agree with your viewpoint. I wish I could provide as much information on other images that I post, but sometimes it's just not possible. :)
Randy Rosenberger
Very unique architectural wonder, Kristin! Never seen one like this before, and I enjoy seeing and reading about new things. Thanks for sharing the nice capture, but also for your interesting read that accompanies it. It means a lot more to the viewer, when they know more about what they are viewing. At least, that is my viewpoint!
Kristin Elmquist
Thanks so much, EG and Bruce. I appreciate your great comments. :)
Bruce Carpenter
great shot and beautiful bridge! check out the railroad bridge over the cape cod bridge in bourne mass. same type of bridge on a larger scale.
Kristin Elmquist
Thanks, Paul, and I would too. We didn't stay long enough to watch it work as there wasn't a whole lot of boat traffic at that time of year (very early Spring). :)
Paul Bennell
Stunning shot Kristin, I'd love to see it working
Kristin Elmquist
Thanks, Bruce, for featuring this one in the Architecture Group. I appreciate it. :)
Kristin Elmquist
Thanks, Ann. It was built in 1984, so it's really not that old, at least to me. Sheesh, I guess I am getting old myself. lol
Ann Horn
Beautiful scene, Kristin. The mechanism of the bridge is new to me, though obviously quite old!
