I use 'Sunsetting' because if you look on right side of the photo, they are building a new bridge to replace this beauty. The current bridge crosses between Lansing, IA over the river to Wisconsin.
As the year goes by - the view may be destroyed and eventually the bridge. (It is known as Black Hawk Bridge )

BNSF M-CHIGAL crosses the Sanitary and Ship Canal over a former 1899 swing bridge, known as Bridge 24B during the Santa Fe days, behind a rebuilt ex-BN SD60M. This was one of eight bridges on the Sanitary between Chicago and Lockport that was converted into a moveable bridge to allow the passage of 28 Gato-class and Balao-class submarines built in Manitowoc during World War II.
England’s capital is renowned for cold weather, warm beer and iconic tourist hotspots including some of the world’s most famous bridges.
But a lesser known bridge in Hampstead Heath, suitably know as ‘Sham Bridge’, has been making headlines for the last 200 years.
Most bridges are designed to at least bear the weight of vehicles or pedestrians crossing over them. However, this bridge located in North West London fails to meet these conventional requirements.
Found above the Thousand Pound Pond in Hampstead Heath, this bridge initially appears to be a typical structure. Yet, upon closer inspection from a different perspective, its true nature is revealed.
Given its nickname, the ‘Sham Bridge,’ this ornamental structure near Kenwood House is merely a two-dimensional feature, lacking the practicality for actual crossing.
Its origins can be traced back to the mid-18th century when it was part of the grounds owned by the first Earl of Mansfield.

Designed by John Gwynn an architect from Shrewsbury
Construction began in 1769 and finished in 1781 at a cost of £30,000. The bridge has been rebuilt quite a few times since. In 1932 it was reopened by HRH Edward, Prince of Wales after a complete reconstruction.
MY THANKS TO ALL WHO VISIT AND COMMENT IT IS APPRECIATED
A bridge from one place to the next,
Stretching across the river's crest,
Connecting shores with sturdy grace,
A path for travelers to embrace.
Wooden planks worn smooth by time,
Carrying footsteps in rhythm and rhyme,
Above the water's gentle flow,
A silent witness to all who go.
From dawn's first light to dusk's last sigh,
The bridge stands tall against the sky,
A symbol of unity and hope,
Guiding wanderers along life's scope.
So step upon its weathered boards,
And leave behind the world's discord,
For on this bridge, all souls find rest,
A passage to peace, a journey blessed.
The present Stirling Old Bridge was built in the 1400s or 1500.
The stone bridge was constructed on rubble foundations around 1500 and replaced earlier wooden/ timber bridges, including that on which the Battle of Stirling Bridge was fought.
The bridge originally had arches at either end and a defensive gate at the end nearer the burgh. Tolls were levied on goods being taken across the bridge.
In December 1745 General Blakeney, lieutenant governor of Stirling⁹ Castle, had one of the bridge arches destroyed to hinder the movement of the Jacobite Army. The destroyed arch was rebuilt in 1749.
In May 1833 the adjacent new road bridge was opened to traffic and the Old Bridge was closed to wheeled traffic.
The bridge was designated as a Category A Listed Building in 1965.
The bridge today remains one of the best medieval masonry arch bridges in Scotland.
