Anyone have construction photos of the Goat Canyon trestle similar to this one during the building process?
Photos of early steam traffic? Many were double headed long passenger trains.
This thing is awesome. Built on a spiral easement, approx 600' long X 200' high. Built on unstable base right next to a collapsed tunnel. Hundreds of recent photos but I could only find this construction shot.
I would love to read about the engineering approach. How they laid out the position of the concrete bases for the pilings in such an inhospitable area. This trestle has multiple walkways within the frame work and linear internal "X" frame supports on the second and fourth piling of each bent.
Recently there has been some token superficial upgrading said to justify the millions of gov. money.
The Balboa museum has two renditions of this canyon in N scale and HO. Each very well done!
