Description
This circa 1915 postcard shows the Northern Electric Railroad's bridge, crossing the Sacramento River at M Street. The largest and most costly span on Northern Electric's interurban network, the bridge was built in 1911 by way of funding from both Yolo and Sacramento counties and the railroad company. The drawbridge motors - two of them - were energized by a railway current that came from the Sacramento side.
