JB Date: 10/05/15 15:14 Re: A Few from the Glacier Park area - 2 Author: Chooch Don't know how old that trestle is but I can just imagine what had to be used in the way of equipment to construct it. If it was around the same time frame as when the line over Donner was built, I would imagine the conditions had to be horrendous.

Great modeling ideas! Mike Date: 10/05/15 18:23 Re: A Few from the Glacier Park area - 2 Author: mp51w I wonder if a truss bridge's design is stronger with the weight on top or with the train running thru? The lighting shows off the bridge well.
