Locomotive Crossing a High Trestle Bridge
A small locomotive hauling several passenger cars travels across a tall wooden trestle bridge spanning a deep valley. Thick wooden support beams hold the track high above the ground among surrounding forest trees. Dense woods cover the sloped hillsides in the background behind the elevated railway crossing.
The Engineering Behind Wooden Trestle Bridges
Wooden trestle bridges were widely constructed during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries because timber was plentiful near mountain rail lines. These structures consist of multiple short spans supported by rigid wooden frames arranged in crisscross patterns to distribute heavy weights safely. Many historic wooden bridges still stand today in heavily forested regions where mountain topography demands elevated tracks.
