How often/when does it travel over the bridge?

[@jamesmilligan714]

At this time as one of the conductors we went over the bridge at least every other day from conductor James Milligan

[@ottawarailfan8736]

IR no longer goes south of the river in Ottawa. Currently there are no customers in Grand Ridge or Streator and they’ve only used the trackage for car storage. Last time the bridge was lowered was back in 2020
