Kennicott Mine and Glacier Trip

Here is the wooden trestle bridge built around 1905. It had the same
building engineer as the White Pass Railroad built in Skagway, AK.
This is a pretty high bridge for this chicken chick (me) to cross in a car
or on a motorcycle. Somehow Bernie forgot to tell me we had to cross
this bridge when he explained to me the route.
Gorgeous scenery when looking back on this photo.
This bridge is still intact today although not used. It's pretty amazing
considering the terrain. There were approximately 6,000 men who
worked on it for 4 yrs.It began in the port of Cordova and ran 196 miles to Kennicott where the copper was shipped out to Seattle to the smelting plant. Part of it went as far north
as Chitna and some sections of it were washed out yearly we were told.
