1885 Viaduct near Sherman, WY

Dale Creek Bridge, an iron bridge in Sherman, Wyoming, USA. A dangerous crossing that required trains to slow down to 4 mph. 1885.

The oldest topo map that I could find was 1948, so I don't know the location of the route that had the trestle. Obviously, the route has changed since 1885. Today's route agrees with the one in the 1948 topo map. Both big crossings near Sherman today use embankments and they are curved. I wonder how big the culvert is in the base of those embankments.
