The Arcola High Bridge carries rail traffic across the St. Croix River near Marine on St. Croix, Minnesota. Built in 1911 by the Wisconsin Central Railway, the steel trestle rises about 185 feet above the river and runs roughly 2,682 feet across the valley. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980 for its engineering significance. The line later passed to the Soo Line Railroad and remains part of the Canadian National Railway network today.
