Two concrete pillars astride the Little Saskatchewan River are all that remain of a railway bridge that, as of 1909, crossed the river at this point in what is now the Rural Municipality of Oakview, on the CNR Rapid City Subdivision. Nearby are two other concrete pillars that allowed the line to cross the CPR Rapid City Subdivision.
