Nostalgia & History > Motorcar'n Up the NWP (Part 9 of 13)

Continued...

Photos 1&2.  Another trestle, this one with 3 spans, one painted black and two silver.  The plate over the bridge reads 1910.
Photo 3.  Ron and myself at the Pacific Lumber mill in Scotia were we tied up for the night after a 116mi run from Willits.  A local fan offered Ron and I lodging in trade for a ride (Ron was headed home on the Greyhound 1st thing in the AM) and we welcomed something snazzier than my tent.  I'm sorry to admit I don't remember the guy's name- he was a bee keeper and I think he lived in Shively.

First one is the bridges at South Fork. The two silver ones replaced the pair that washed away in 1964

so who is who???

That makes sense- the 2 silver spans were slightly different in detail.

I'm the bearded one-
And now that I think of it, this dates the trip as being in '94. I had said '95, but I didn't have the beard anymore in '95.

Should be. Those two silver spans are sitting on the most expensive pier ever ever constructed on the NWP (over $750,000 in 1965)
