About this postcard

A long multi-span steel truss bridge crosses the Missouri River at Sioux City, Iowa. In the foreground, a man rows a small boat near a log-strewn shore, with the bridge's spans receding across the wide water. The Combination Bridge carried both rail and wagon traffic, a mixed-use crossing that served Sioux City's river trade and rail connections in the early 1900s.
