TREMPEALEAU, Wis. – The state Natural Resources Department asked for an informant to come forward about a fire that destroyed an old timber bridge on the 16-mile Trempealeau-Onalaska biking trail. “Any information from the public will be welcomed,” said Warden Chris Shea. “Even if the information seems too small to matter, it may be important.” The bridge was built by the old Chicago & Northwestern railroad with creosote-soaked timbers in 1871. The bridge was torched May 16.
