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.

This is an evil among all things that are done under the sun, that there is one event unto all: yea, also the heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and madness is in their heart while they live, and after that they go to the dead. Ecclesiastes 9:3 KJV

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.
