This tower was torn down in April 2007. The smoke in the background (north) is from the Union Pacific Railroad bridge burning, which was completely destroyed in March 2007.

Really dig the composition of this shot, what a shame about the bridge, have they since rebuilt it?

Yes they did rebuild it. 36 Amtraks a day used that bridge, so it created a real snarl, to say nothing of the 90 mile freight detour via Marysville.
It was rebuilt in 12 days. That's long by railroad standards, but it was a big project - they replaced wood with concrete.
This was right in the state government's front yard, so they naturally asked "why does it take CalTrans 3 months to fix anything on the freeways?" Two weeks later a gas tanker knocked down part of the Macarthur Maze and Caltrans got put to the test.
