Matthew,
I am curious what made you decided to post this particular bridge?
I am in the process of compiling a list of the remaining unaltered Conde McCullough era tee beam bridges in Oregon and the Rock Creek Bridge is on that list. There are probably around a hundred or so such bridges remaining in the state and I was just curious why this one popped up.
I was planning on taking a trip to Wheeler County and photograph this bridge and the other similar bridge over Bridge Creek this spring or summer.
Keep up the solid work!
Mike
Hi Mike,
If nothing else, I had noticed that Wheeler County had no bridges listed, so I went into the NBI to see what was there. This particular bridge had a street view to it, so I just tried it, and I was amazed by its beautiful railings. I figured that this would be a good one to get Wheeler County on the map. I had never seen railings like these before, and I thought that it would drive the point home that even stringers had class and style back then! I know this isn't my area of the map, but I was looking at some of the amazing Columbia River bridges in the area when I noticed Wheeler County. If you make it to that area, I would love to see some photos, and I've noticed that you have snapped some amazing pictures!
Regards,
Matt Lohry
