railroad bridge

footbridge to nowhere

Under a railroad bridge on I-94 is the footbridge to nowhere. There is a footbridge that starts at a solid wall, runs 14" under an active railroad bridge, and ends at a solid wall. Boggles the mind.

primer

Todd’s Railfan Guide to Railroad Bridges (railroadsignals.us) I started this page after completing a page for Detroit that covered the majority of bridges and overpasses found in the metro area. This is an introduction to the many varieties of railroad bridges that exist, and some that are no longer with us. For further reading, check out some of the links I have come across.

In addition to the draw of nature, relics of the past can be found here [in Al Borlin Park]. Bits and pieces of what once was the longest covered railroad bridge in the world originally constructed by the Everett & Cherry Valley Traction Company Railway to cross the Skykomish river and provide rail service down to what is now Carnation.
