BNSF - Green Park Industrial Trestle
Posted September 28, 2014, by mark lammert (montanadreamer13 [at] yahoo [dot] com)

The steel support was installed to replace the concrete pillar that was washed out in a big flash flood. The old pillar is still in the creek were the water under cut and it fell down. Do not have the date.
