Maybe. I looked on Google Maps and the bridge seems to be south of Carver. There are no public roads within a one mile radius or so, however. |

Here's an up-close picture of it: On the way back, I saw the UP 3300 (The United Way unit with red, white and blue bunting on it) sitting at Valley Park. It was the lead unit. |
