unfortunately theres no image Ive found of this trestle that shows how long it was, it was installed in 1901, so it would have been of a C&S design , its around 300ft long if one measures it into the plat of pitkin and the 1918 icc plan , the one i have is about 320 ft, there are shorter ones available but the tracks are either duplicated or on the wrong side , once again this is going to have to be a 'best fit' as the builder of trestles and bridges extraordinaire, Ben Dorsey, who helped me with the Uintah , died in 2018 of stomach cancer, a huge blow as he was prolific and had already pledged to help me out with a south park route that had to be shelved due to his death. it will try and find a better fit , but at the moment this is the best I have . if anyone can find an image to work from i'll see if i can commission the item.
