[QUOTE="Sandpatch, post: 159279, member: 10543"] Nice shot Ron. That would make a fine hike. The Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul & Pacific (aka The Milwaukee Road) had a fascinating history and was a highly picturesque road. The trestle you shot was part of its "Pacific Coast Extension" from the Dakotas to Seattle, completed in 1909 at a staggering cost. It never should have been built, as it paralleled two other lines (GN and NP) which proved more durable. It was a time of railroad fever throughout the nation and modern engineering made the early years of the 20th Century an exceptional era for railroad construction. [/QUOTE]
