Despite what forest service and topography maps show, the correct name of this bridge is Hull Creek. The original bridge was built by the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway of Washington in 1908 of wooden timber construction, it was converted to a steel viaduct in 1910. The railroad has always called the creek "Hull" creek and I believe it is marked as such by a sign on the present trail.
