- There was a spiral trestle, but it was vandalized in the mid-70s (arson).
- The railroad quickly built some switchbacks to bypass the trestle. You
- can walk down from the summit of the hill, and follow the path that the
- trains used to take. I walked out on the trestle a ways. It's all charred,
- but can take an individual's weight no problem. But, it's very high, and it
- gets scary.
