I cannot edit my original post above, even though
I AM the original poster.
Here is what I get:

Microsoft VBScript runtime error \'800a000d\'
Type mismatch: \'rs\'

Anyway, the above links seem to be only temporary links at the Lib of Congress website when I did the searching.  The links above are now dead.

So, here\'s the correct path:

Go here: http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/collections/habs_haer/

Then fill in the SEARCH box with \"chicago railroad bridge\" and these
two bridge Z2 and Z6 links will pop up among others on the third page of \"hits.\"

Sorry for the confusion.
