Horse-drawn carriage on Stone Arch Bridge, Minneapolis skyline

A horse-drawn carriage traverses the Stone Arch Bridge in Minneapolis, with the city's downtown skyline in the background. Constructed in 1883, the bridge originally served as a railway bridge for the Great Northern Railway before its conversion to a pedestrian and bicycle path, reopening in 1994. The bridge is a significant historical landmark offering views of the Mississippi River and the urban environment. It remains a popular destination for visitors and residents, providing a connection to Minneapolis's industrial heritage and its modern cityscape.
