Oh my heavens!!!!!! I finally found other pictures of this trestle. Does anyone have a photo of the tracks as you are looking across the bridge, like a view from the deck. I saw this trestle when my mom and I were taking one of our vacations coming up from Florida ( came through Georgia, Tennessee, and Kentucky ) to Missouri. The first time I saw this bridge, I nearly had a heart attack. Man, it is AWESOME!!!!! I plan on building one like it for a model railroad.
