Here is a shot of Media Trestle in June 2017. At this time, the replacement pillars were just about complete. As of February 2018, it is said the replacement bridge is largely complete, but the railroad is just waiting for better weather (and lower rail traffic) for the cutover. Late March 2018 is considered the target time.

Are there any photos of the building of this bridge in 1888? My great grandfather was 5 when the trestle was built and he spoke of sitting on the hill watching the camp scene. He was fascinated with the process. I have been searching for a long time for just one photo. Are there any in the archives that could be copied? Thank you.
According to sources the new bridge is to be cut in on April 7-8, 2018. The BNSF line is to be shut down at 6 AM and is going to reopen sometime Sunday.
