Bard's Crossing is a truss arch railroad bridge in Red Dead Redemption 2 and Red Dead Online in The Heartlands region of the New Hanover territory.
The railroad bridge connects West Elizabeth to New Hanover over the mouth of the Dakota River as it flows into Flat Iron Lake.
Trivia[]
- In the mission "Who is Not Without Sin," Arthur Morgan saves a drunk Orville Swanson from an oncoming Train after his foot becomes stuck in the train tracks.
- The bridge is a good place to find Pigeons, Eagles, Hawks, and Turkey Vultures, which are perched on the railings which line the bridge.
- On the Big Valley side of the bridge there is a large sign that reads "Welcome to West Elizabeth", welcoming Train passengers, however on The Heartlands side of the bridge, there is none.
- Bard's Crossing is one of three railroad bridges that are labelled on the map, the two others being Granite Pass, and Bacchus Bridge.
- Bard's Crossing is the longest bridge in the series, surpassing Frontera Bridge from Red Dead Redemption.
- By the time period's standards, Bard's Crossing would be considered a "modern" bridge, being constructed from steel trusswork rather than timber.
- This bridge is useful for completing two of the three dry dashes in the Horseman Challenges, specifically Horseman 6 (Riding from Strawberry to Saint Denis in under 9 minutes) and Horseman 9 (Riding from Van Horn to Blackwater in under 17 minutes).
