IIRC, the trestle culvert at m.p. 287.50 would be to the left of Olaf's first photo, above, and either behind the grassy hill at the left of the second photo or just off to the left.  For additional photos taken in that area see [ngdiscussion.net] and [ngdiscussion.net];  for a photo of the trestle in somewhat happier times see the last shot on [ngdiscussion.net].
