| Retro Quad Cities posted This photo showing a wooden trestle for the Rock Island Southern Railway, would eventually be backfilled and became the dam for Lake Matherville!!! Mike Robinson: And I believe that a few miles more south on that line was one of the longest wooden trestle railroad bridges at the time. Located south of Gilchrist. I only heard it from old farmers in the area. [Several comments provide newspaper clippings.] |
