Description
This wooden trestle bridge is on the San Manuel to Hayden railroad.
The San Manuel Arizona Railroad was constructed by a joint venture consisting of Utah Construction Company and The Sterns-Roger Manufacturing Company, which had a contract with the San Manuel Copper Corporation for the construction of the railroad. The company was incorporated September 29, 1953 and the railroad began operations in 1955.
The San Manuel Arizona Railroad Company (SMA) operated freight service from a connection with the Copper Basin Railroad at Hayden to San Manuel, AZ (29.4 miles).
The copper mine at San Manuel was permanently closed in October 2003 and the SMA ceased operations in 1999.

Wonderful construction, zoom is a must to see it properly. Maybe a little flash in photoshop could have brightened the pic!

I was surprised the bridge isn't any older than it is!

To get that picture I walked along the tracks for short distance and then through the desert. Every bush, branch or twick has thorns, but no snakes. They have enough sense to stay cool during the middle of the day!
