Check out the link below of a YouTube video of the Canadian National Railroad bridge being put in place. It is a 30 minute video that was broadcast on local cable TV in Oshkosh.
In the middle they show it being put in place. Towards the 3/4 mark you can see trains going over it. Then at the end you can see it open/close and a few boats pass under.
Tim and Kathy found this awesome video clip on the web and I thought I would share! This is really neat to see. You can catch parts of the old Fin-n-Feather and the Winneconne bridge in here too.
Click here and this should pop up in a new window to watch.
