Unfortunately the postcard does not mention the name of the bridge, so I had hard time researching information about it. Thanks to Historic Bridges of the US website, I was able to find a similar bridge, if not exact, in the White River area. The name I found is Porter's Bluff Bridge. The two images have the same span design (if that's what you call it), so I concluded they must be the same bridge!

These are not the same Bridge. The top one is a Railroad Bridge and the bottom is car traffic on Highway 12 east of Rogers Arkansas, now removed.
Thanks for the info. Will have to do more research to find out the name of the railroad bridge.
