Hi Bruce,
Generally you can see the steel I beam stringers when looking at the side of the trestle. The comment was towards the idea that you wouldn't see them when riding the train over the trestle.
Either way, it'll be neat to see the trestle rebuilt at Como and ride behind steam out to the wye and back.
