Three bridge creek.

The three bridges in the logging area were made and and installed. As mentioned before the logging spur bridge was made with 2 logs running parallel to the stream banks and 2 logs on top of them, parallel and inline with the rails. This was common practice for even much larger logging line bridges.
The 2 mainline bridges over this stream, are stringers with ties on top of them. The lower mainline bridge has 2 beams for footings. This required lifting the track about a 1/4 of an inch. I used cut down ceiling tiles to support it.
The stream bed was painted a dark brown before adding sand, gravel and water.
