The Winona Rail Bridge was a swing bridge that spanned the Mississippi River between Winona, Minnesota, and Winona Junction in Buffalo, Buffalo County, Wisconsin. It was built to link the Winona and St. Peter Railroad with the La Crosse, Trempealeau & Prescott Railroad. Both became part of the Chicago and North Western Transportation Company (C&NW). The swing span was removed, but the box girder portion of the bridge still extends from Latsch Island just downstream of the current Main Channel Bridge. Piers from the original 1871 bridge and the box girders are in the North Channel just downstream of the current North Channel Bridge.

- Die Winona Rail Bridge war eine eingleisige Eisenbahnbrücke über den Mississippi zwischen Winona in Minnesota und dem Buffalo County in Wisconsin. Die von George S. Morison entworfene Fachwerkbrücke wurde bis 1891 von der Winona Bridge Railway Company errichtet, eine von mehreren Eisenbahngesellschaften gegründete Betreibergesellschaft, hinter der als treibende Kraft maßgeblich die Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad stand. Es war nach der 1872 von der Chicago and North Western Railway errichteten Brücke bereits die zweite Eisenbahnbrücke in Winona, und sie förderte um die Jahrhundertwende die Entwicklung Winonas zu einer der damals größten Städte Minnesotas. Haupteigner der Betreibergesellschaft wurde ab 1970 die Burlington Northern Railroad, die 1985 die veraltete Brücke aufgab und 1 (de)
