Spectacular structure. I find this line so interesting....thanks for sharing!

You are standing in the footsteps of Steinhiemer. I am sure you felt his greatness swell inside you. I have wanted to see this trestle ever since seeing Stein's photo of it in his brilliant "Backwoods Railroads oo the West." Thanks for this wonderful shot of the scenic highlight of this line and for your perseverance in documenting so well this fascinating railroad.

Stunning photo, EL ROCO. Thanks for all your trouble in reaching this location. Thanks also for the great summary.

Fantastic shot, and incredible documentation of this remote, dramatic railroad. Out of curiosity, though, what are the criteria for "longest wooden bridges" rankings? The former BNSF Woodinville Sub east of Seattle has a 1,014' wood pile trestle that's only a few feet above a river floodplain (see image 279787), and the more well-known Wilburton Trestle that rises high over the south side of Bellevue and is 975' long (see image 224288).

The key words are largest "non liner" bridge.
The structure is curved which you can see clearly in photos taken from the ends.
Dennis, you are too kind. But honestly, I have never see any of Steinheimer's photos of this structure.
