1916 CSX/Pere Marquette Trestle over Rabbit River in Hamilton, MI

(Archived Bridge Hunter; Historic Bridges; Satellite)

I'm always a little surprised when I see a Class I railroad still using a wood trestle.

Chessie on the trestle at Hamilton Michigan in 1980.  Now this trestle is always a favorite spot for fishermen to fish when spawning season comes.  Fish leap the falls.  Its on the Rabbit River and Hamilton has a restaurant named after it, called The Trestle Stop.  Anyway, lots of pics are taken of this trestle, but the problem with me was, that it never had Chessie on it.  So that day I needed to fix the problem.
[According to some comments, CSX still operates the route, but at 10mph.]

Fortunately, the leaves were off the trees so that we can see the caboose.
