Cain Creek Branch Line Trestle #10 on my garden railway
By: Dr.Rev.DelmarMacReady Date: August 14, 2019, 1:44 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
I have almost completed construction on my representation of the
Brookside trestle (#10). Built in 1904, it was at the time the
highest wood trestle in the United States at 115'. Located appr.
1.5 mi from my house, it was burned to the ground in the 1990s
by careless kids and fireworks.
I didn't need the full scale 115', so mine is a bit
non-prototypical at around scale 70'. Built of red oak i ripped
down from flooring remnants, then stained and treated with
Thompson's. I still have to pour concrete footers, as well as
build and set 5 bridges. But this is just one more item off the
punch list.

These are of the section of trestle opposite the interchange.
These pics were taken while it was under construction.

Well just pretend I'm Bob Barker and
"Bruce St. Paul Steam, Come On DOWN!!"
Seriously, anytime you are in the neighborhood you are welcome.
Just be careful, the dog is off his meds and he has a gun. :P

That's turning out great Benny - you'll have something really
special when you're done.
