Cross posting this link. This is the one I was trying to recall (way) earlier...

100-foot (30m) high trestle built to haul logs out after a forest fire, Washington 1906. Train logging was common in the early 20th century and the remains of a lot of these trestles can still be seen in the forests of the Pacific Northwest.

I have a picture somewhere of an old logging RR trestle in Idaho. I visited the old incline logging railroad near Clarkia ID many years ago. There's and abandoned locomotive in the woods. This site talk about it. AbandonedIdahoClimax

Wife and I finished this tonight. Only 750 pieces, but still kinda difficult with a lot of similar colors and textures. We usually do a puzzle a week. Just work on them for a while in the later evenings while winding down and watching TV. Thought it was appropriate for this thread.

Been a few tough weeks for NS. First the horrible wreck in *********, OH last month, then last Friday a derailment in Springfield, OH, no hazmat involved, and now, just as the CEO is testifying on Capitol Hill, another derailment in Alabama, again thankfully with no hazmat involved.
It'll be interesting to find out the causes of the two most recent accidents.
