(ABC 6 News) — On Monday night, crews used explosives to demolish a rail bridge in Sioux City that had partially collapsed due to flooding this summer.

The bridge spanned the Big Sioux River and has been a mainstay of that area for over 100 years. The bridge was also a major mode of transportation for BNSF, and the railroad has had to reroute shipments following the collapse.
