| Jeffrey High posted Box Canyon bridge and dam near Metaline Falls, WA. Pend Oreille River. Sean Rotinski: Not technically abandoned. Just out of service. There is a pedal carts business that will take you from Ione to the bridge! Jim Derrig: Am hoping to do it this Fall! https://lionsrailriders.com/ |

There must be an overlook here because I saw many more photos with this view.

| NorthwestPortal, photo by Sam Judy ''The dam, which has four Kaplan turbines, was upgraded in 2015 to a capacity of 90 MW from the initial 69 MW, provides more than half of the power needed by the county....Just above the dam is an Idaho and Washington Northern Railroad Bridge that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This bridge, built in 1916, uses an unusual cantilevered construction that was necessitated by the rugged terrain. Unlike most bridges, that are built from the sides and meet in the middle, this bridge was constructed from one side to the other. More information at RE->WA." |
