This is fantastic!  Great historic bridge, beautiful location.A wonderful historic preservation project but it's ironic it took an Iowa group to see its potential.  Should remind us we have a lot of unrecognized historic jewels around the county.  Lets' hope they can raise the money and all the entangled agencies can work things out together to see this project succeed.  
While the bridge was moved here, it's interesting to note that it was built just 11 years after our own O&C railroad reached Lane County.  Also interesting-- those railroad bridges that  still carry lumber from Coos Bay were built from 1912 to 1916, and one move-in was from  near Drain in 1907.  Hope they are still safe!
This bridge is also a symbol of our early timber industry.  However this statement is a little off- " likely to bring lumber to a Springfield mill from the Marcola hills to the northeast."  No, it probably  carried logs from the Marcola hills to be turned in to lumber in Springfield mills.
