BNSF/Santa Fe Trestle over Tierra Blanca Creek near Canyon, TX

(no Bridge Hunter; no Historic Bridges; Satellite)

Facebook Reel
Marvin Parker: massive railroad trestle bridge in Canyon, Texas (south of Amarillo) burned and collapsed on May 14, 2026, after a lightning strike ignited a series of wildfires in the Texas Panhandle. The BNSF Railway structure was completely destroyed, taking the line out of service while crews work to rebuild it.

It is not very tall, but it is rather long.

I started with the contour lines that were close together at the bottom of the above map. But that trestle is way too short. So I then looked at the contour lines next to the Tierra Blanca Creek. That is where I found the above street view.
