    Lawyers Canyon Viaduct.

    Tallest remaining viaduct in US. The largest of well over a dozen large trestles along abandoned Camas Prairie Railroad, most of which are wooden.

    Built 1908, Abandoned in 2000
    Intact, closed to traffic.

    Camas Prairie Railroad
    Northern Pacific Railroad

    South of Craigmont, ID on Hwy 95.

    Nah, just think of all the fill dirt we'd save. Besides, their bodies are filled with nothing but "fertilizer", so that will encourage rapid tree growth as they decompose. The Greenies will love you for this....LOL

    Ok that was not as hard as I thought. Let's try one from north of a Y. All I know is the name of the lake. Best of luck and ty for the history. Always enjoy learning something new.

    At first, I thought Yermo, CA, but it was much too arid. Next was Yuba City, CA, and you said north of a Y, so perhaps this is north of Oroville on CA-70, by the namesake lake?

    Ken nailed it. Just east of Marias Summit: by my calculations, Jim's at East Summit. 48.329715, -113.339025.

    This is a bit west of the location in question, but it's close enough. This is East Summit.

    Actually I was thinking of a place west of Summit. If correct, Jim is driving eastward and still climbing.
