In 1911, the Northern Electric Railway Company, along with Sacramento and Yolo counties, built the Northern Electric Bridge. The bridge carried a single railroad track with twin motor-vehicle roadways. Pedestrian walks cantilevered from the central support structure. It had two fixed-approach spans, each 125 feet long, with a center draw of 400 feet. The 12-foot square operator's house, constructed of 4-inch thick concrete, was placed over the center of the structure.
Two 60 HP-D.C. motors mounted in the center pier opened the draw.
This river crossing structure served from 1912 until 1935 when the present Tower Bridge replaced it.
