A different view

The Salt Creek trestle is about 20 miles east of Oakridge, on the way to Willamette Pass. Highway 58 passes right under it. I've posted other shots of the trestle, taken from highway level. That's the standard shot - a train high in the air over the road.

This is what the trestle looks like at track level. Not as impressive. Unless you go right to the edge and look down you can't tell how tall it really is. I suppose before the trees grew up and hid much of it, it's size was more obvious.

On this cloudy, dreary, late May day I captured a northbound just coming off the trestle. In a minute it will be past me, around the curve, and to the siding point of Heather.
