Roseville Historical Society Marker No. 2

Across this footbridge situated high above Roseville's Southern Pacific railroad yards
passed untold thousands of Pacific Fruit Express employees on their way to work at the
world''s largest artificial ice plant. In disuse since 1974 when the giant plant was razed,
this local landmark was moved in 1986 for use as a public footbridge across Dry Creek
and as a memorial to those days when Roseville was the ice capital of the world.

It was dedicated on March 28, 1987 as the Reuben F. Nelson Footbridge in honor of longtime
PFE superintendent and civic leader R.F. "Rube" Nelson.
