Carrizo gorge down here in san diego:

Couple of my local favorites first up the Lawyer’s Creek Trestle near Grangeville ID.

and the other the long gone S trestle near Wallace Id.

And what happens when a avalanche weakens a bridge and a train drives over it. The S trestle again

Here is a closeup of this UP 4-4-0 camelback…

Original wooden trestle over Two Medicine Creek in Montana, just east of Glacier National Park on the Great Northern Railway, now BNSF. Photo taken in 1900.

From GNGOAT.org, Lindsey Horst, Prop.

That is a way cool trestle Steve.

And that camel back is just very cool.
