It's nice to see this trestle is still standing. When I was a kid, in the early 70s, we visited some friends of the family who lived in Bellvue, within sight of this trestle. Kids being kids (i.e., stupid), we tried to walk across the thing, never knowing if a train was due. That was the time I discovered that I was afraid of heights!
