A fire in the 1980s was hot enough to bend the rails. Somehow, though, the wooden structure seems largely unharmed.
Former CN 4-8-2 6060 owned by the Province of Alberta, bound for Expo 86 in Vancouver, crosses Canoe River on the Albreda Subdivision.
A wide angle view I captured from the viewing deck of the Denali Star. It was the blue skies with puffy clouds scattered all about with the view of the river below that I visualized and attempted to capture. I believe this is in Denali State Park.
One of the few remaining trestle bridges in San Diego, the Quince Street bridge is 236-foot long and spans Maple Canyon. This wooden, pedestrian-only bridge connects Fourth and Third avenues. You can also see the ocean and Coronado Island from the 4th Avenue side. There are also hiking trails below.
Bored at home, check out my fine art prints:

Here's that thing again. Just looking at this shot makes me queasy...looks like I was levitating just off the edge of the bridge. Truth be told I was standing on a little service walkway.
CN M337 heads west on the Freeport Subdivision across the Fox River in South Elgin, IL with the GT Heritage Unit leading the way.
This impressive structure is now a preserved remnant of a Victorian Railways branch line between the sawmiling town Noojee and Warragul. At Warragul the line connected with the main Orbost - Melbourne line.
Old Logging Bridge remains across a canyon on the Caycuse Main - near Lake Cowichan, BC
We had spotted this old gem which we think is from the 40's or 50's logging era from the top/road when there wern't many leaves on the trees this past spring and finally made it down into the canyon area to view it completely.
Not an easy trek, but so worth it in the end :)
The shadier side (left) seems to be rotting faster and the top deck has rotted and/or fallen downstream. It is built with very thick and solid beams, very neat find.

.... This train trestle / bridge crosses Wilket Creek at E.T. Seton Park in Leaside. It was constructed in the 1880s, when the CPR (Canadian Pacific Railway) came to Toronto, it carries one set of rails ....
Belgrave, VIC
"In 1899 construction of the Ferntree Gully-Gembrook Line began which included the Rail Bridge, over Monbulk Creek, Selby. Victoria Railways architects designed the line and The Board of Lands and Works Construction Branch employed one hundred and eighty men for a period of sixteen months, many of them local timber workers, as labour. One of the features of the construction of the railway, and in particular the Trestle Bridge, was the use of construction methods which utilised native bush timbers. These were not in ready supply at this time as the area had been devastated by bushfire in 1898. The narrow gauge line supplied local people with goods and services on a regular basis and provided reliable access to markets for local industries as well as revitalising the tourist industry in the picturesque hills. In 1954 the narrow gauge line was closed and in 1958 management of the line was handed over to The Puffing Billy Preservation Society. The Puffing Billy steam train services began on the line in 1965 as a tourist concern. In 1977 the ownership of the line was handed over to the Tourist Railway Board. The Rail Bridge, over Monbulk Creek, Selby is a curved, timber trestle bridge carrying a single narrow gauge track which spans the Monbulk Creek and the Belgrave Emerald Rd. A viewing bay has been constructed for tourists, off Belgrave-Emerald Rd. The bridge is 85 metres long, 12 metres high at its highest point and comprises 14 spans of 6 metres, curved to a radius of 20 metres. The bridge has a tight 3 chain curvature. It was constructed from local, native bush timbers. The bridge has undergone progressive replacement of damaged timbers. Major structural repair and conservation works were carried out in 1983 and 1988."
After loading their train in the Harvard, IL area, a loaded Chemung grain train rolls across the old C&NW bridge in Fox River Grove, IL with a BNSF SD70ACe, KCS and UP ES44AC for power.
Leaving the confines of Sherbrooke Forest, sunlight pierces the cloudy sky at just the right moment to capture 8A and 12A storming out of Belgrave.
Sherbrooke Forest is home to some of Victoria's most iconic flora and fauna, including the elusive lyrebird, towering tree ferns, and mountain ash: the tallest flowering plant in the world.
The two NA-class steam engines are well over 100 years old and see daily use on Puffing Billy Railway. The bridge is equally historic, with timbers dating back to the early 1900s per the dates carved into them.
Credit where credit is due! Thanks to Dave for finding this angle.

No sense in wasting archived pics! Retired coal-train trestle bridge in Gippsland, close to Wilsons Promontory. The structure is now a component of a walking and cycling track in the region. It spans Bourne Creek, close to where it joins Bass Strait at Kilcunda Beach.
The Kinsol Trestle is one of the tallest free-standing and most spectacular timber rail trestle structure.
This shot of dear old Puffing Billy was taken in pouring rain on a very wet day through the car window (wound down three inches!) with my bulky old 35mm 3d twin rig balanced awkwardly on my lap. This shows the old steam loco getting up a full head of steam while crossing the wonderful old trestle bridge not far out of Belgrave in the Dandenong Ranges on its way to Gembrook.
This would have been taken sometime around 2001 on Velvia 50 slide film on a 3D or stereo twin rig made from two old Ricoh 35ZF 35mm film cameras bought in antique shops for maybe $15 each. It was my first 3D camera set up, and although it was crude, it did the job!
Scanned from the original slide with a Canon RP with 24-240 lens and Nisi Close up lens.
Happy Gorgeous Green Thursday!
A visit to the Cambrian Line in September 1988 produced this view of BR 37430 'Cwmbran' about to cross the Afon Llyfnant on the approach to Dovey Junction with a train of discharged TTA fuel tanks forming the WO 7F79 15:24 Aberystwyth to Stanlow.

Trestle Bridge over the Rabbit River in Hamilton, Allegan County, Michigan. Built in the early 1900s - 1916?

In Ireland they call these kinds of days "soft days". One afternoon last week, layers of fog blanketed the misty Mendocino coast, bringing a softness to everything. Not long after, this marine layer of fog that moves in and out along the land's edge had receded and the coast was crystal clear......the ocean's blues sparkling in the sunshine, shadows dancing among the trees. And a few hours later, here was that soft beautiful mist again, settling in for the duration of the night. The Pacific Northwest Maritime Climate is full of wonderful change.
This is a view of the Albion Bridge, the only wooden trestle bridge still being used on the coast of California. It was built during World War II. Here is some information about Albion, a little hamlet along Highway One, on the beautiful Mendocino coast: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albion,_California
Thanks everyone for stopping by!
97304 “John Tiley” crosses the River Glaslyn on the return 2Q88 13:59 Pwllheli to Derby RTC test train. Naturally, full dull.
Around 70 miles northwest of Reno lays the double trestle bridge over Spanish Creek. The junction here is called Keddie Wye (as the junction describes a "Y" over the Feather River).
The Western Pacific Railroad built the line along the Feather River in direct competition with the Southern Pacific's route through the Donner Pass. The freight in shot has climbed through Feather River Canyon and over the summit at 5000 feet above sea level and is turning north over the Keddie Wye on the branch to Bieber and the Pacific North West. The arm in the foreground runs back towards Reno via Portola.
For the record, the 6 locos up front were 4229 ES44C4 T4, 4798 C44-9W, 7809 ES44C4, 7585 ES44DC, 5152 C44-9W, 4657 C44-9W. Friday 30.9.16
