    Former Milwaukee Road bridge over the Snoqualmie River, on the line between Cedar Falls to Monroe, Wa.

    Now a trail.

    I do recall seeing the SD7 units. I was a youngster, (1950's), way back then. Now just an old fart with fading memories. :(

    Unfortunately no, been pulled up for awhile now, early 80's, after the Milwaukee Road scaled back to the midwest.

    This line, a severed branch, segment was pulled early 1990's. The first chunk went in flooding, (Everett to Monroe), late 1930's. The next (High Rock to Snoqualmie Falls), came out in 1975. Then :(

    Fished it; chased the Milw there; picked mushrooms nearby; visited (as a boy) friends in the adjacent mill town; hunted brush bunnies on the hills nearby (Weyco lands); etc, etc... Former valley resident and very local area native.
