The next four pictures were taken in 1994 when the trestle was still intact. |
This trestle was a true work of art. |
For 75 years this trestle stood tall and proud. |

 |
|
It is wonderful to have these memories of the structure. |
|
In July of 1999 we looked and felt sad that part of the trestle that once carried the narrow-gauge West Side Railway had disappeared the previous year. |

The Bourland Trestle Trail ends just to the left of this portion of the trestle.

Debris from the fallen Bourland Trestle. |
Looking at the far side of the trestle.

| Returning to the trestle in September of 2010, we found eleven years had taken its toll. | Can't help but wonder just how many more years this trestle can survive the severe winters. | You can see the original supports for the trestle. Last time we saw this, it was full of debris from the partial collapse in 1998. |

| A closeup of one section. | After 75 years the trees now hide a good portion of the remaining trestle. | When you are in our Stanislaus National Forest and have one free day, take time to visit the Bourland Trestle before it disappears forever. You will be glad you did!!! |
