Summary edit

Description

Image Description: "Oregon has over 2,500 miles of railroads. This bridge over the Crooked River is 320 feet high and has a total length of 460 feet. For its type it is considered one of the finest examples as to correct detail, and for an arch bridge is unusually rigid. It will take the weight of the world's heaviest locomotives double-headed. There are 970 tons of steel in the arch, including the approaches, and the erecting devices weighed 80 tons. The cost to reproduce would exceed $200,000.00. To paint the bridge with one coat requires 380 gallons of paint."
