This postcard was recently listed on eBay.  Where in Salem was this bridge located?

I believe it's just a little ways north of the depot George.  I think that's the bridge the vigilantes  hung Delos Heffren off of on June 29, 1873.  / Ron

I think this bridge is just west of the depot, about where the ROW makes turn to the south, before you get to the cemetery. There are 4 bridges on the ROW in the Salem area. I marked them on the attached Google Earth view, and I think it was Bridge #1.

Thanks Ron and Geof,

It looks like it's very close to the downtown area.
