i'm pretty sure all these trestles burned down in the fires of 2003. i know there is a steel trestle (we didn't get that far) and even it had to have a bunch of work done to it. it has been a while since i was last up there... back in the day there were no hand rails, no 2x6 planks running the trestles to walk on and lots of missing railway ties..... ahhhhhhh... the good old days!!!
