North from there along Tierra Buena Road (parallel to the old grade), up to the intersection with Eager Road, stands the old trestle crossing Live Oak Canal.
A new trestle would have cost $90,000, more than the railroad was worth before the old trestle was lost.
He was left with only the expense of moving the trestle to the Catawba and attaching it to the stone piers of the old trestle that were spared by the flood.
The beginning of the end of rail service in the park happened in 1933 when a flood damaged an old Ottawa, Arnprior and Parry Sound Railway trestle on Cache lake.
The ski trails cross piles of tailings and wind past old trestles and mine shafts.
The old trestles were used by risky drivers however they were removed and the road was fixed to accommodate passenger cars and trucks.
This part of the line is very popular among railfans for its old wooden trestles near the borough of Chicora.
The piers were tapered to echo the pinched-waist appearance of the old trestle next to it.
Many supports from the old trestle across the St. Johns River remain, as do a few of the old company buildings at the Melbourne end.
The trail to the left will take the hiker to the site of the old trestle, overlooking the marsh, a distance of about two miles.
