Original railroad abutments for C B & Q railroad, used from 1858 to 1901, 08-22-11
Instead of turning right to stay on the Loop Trail, let's continue east on the railroad bed to the old RR bridge.
Shortly we come to the old railroad bridge abutments.
The bridge was built about 1858, and was abandoned in 1901 when the tracks moved north.
Many of the abutment stones have fallen into the creek. Note the western abutment in the foreground.
