What is the history of the Cascade bridge over Cascade creak

Here is a little information concerning construction of this span:

During 1889: Frame trestle removed. 54 foot iron girders originally purchased in 1880-1881 for this site but placed at bridges 7a, 9a, 43a, 44a, and 46a and released from these sites in 1889, with two additional girders purchased in 1889, erected on new masonry.

408 foot Iron trestle- 7 54 foot panels and 1 30 foot panel (west end)
