Doug Chapman posted seven photos with the comment: "During my trip Oregon July 26 2025 I visited the Row River trail bridge near Cottage Grove Oregon. It is a former rail bridge and was used in the 1986 movie Stand By me. In a few photos that is me dressed as Gordie Lachance from the movie."

I labeled the railroad as "rrIndustrial" because it looks like a logging railroad. Note the "Sawmill" where the two branches of the railroad meet.

I found three covered bridges while looking for the truss bridge. And then I noticed that Bridge Hunter lists a lot of covered bridges in this county. So, I'm just noting the one next to this truss bridge.

They used wood for compression and steel for tension members.

In fact, Lane County has 20 bridges, which is more than any other county west of the Mississippi River. [LaneCountyOR]
