1908 Camas Prairie Railroad Lawyer's Canyon Bridge near Craigmont, ID

(Bridge Hunter broke Mar 22, 2023; no Historic Bridges; Satellite)

According to a comment by Drew Mango on a post, an abandoned section of the Camas Prairie Railroad has over 40 wooden trestles. The movie Breakheart Pass was filmed on one of the wooden trestles.
Chris Jones: the locomotive used in that movie, Great Western 75, is now at the Heber Valley Railroad in Utah

As this sign explains, the route was jointly owned by NP and UP. According to a USGS map, it is now owned by Bountiful Grain & Craig Mountain.
