Bridge 46-D

High Line

Heading up the high line, the grade passed through a large cut before proceeding out onto the longest bridge known as 46-D. In this shot the grade suddenly ends as we look to the west across the 46-D bridge site. Photo by Dave Dye on August 21, 2010.

As we break out of the trees, the rocky outcropping that supported the Matterhorn end of the trestle comes into view. The rock slide has carried most of the timbers from this section down far below. Photo by Dave Dye on August 21, 2010.
