the highest wooden trcstle bridges
measured 211 feet In height and 151
feet in length. Steel is now displacing
timber because the latter. although
less costly at first requires frequent
examination and renewal.

of safety Is less than in the wooden

design is among the oldest and SIM

developed to great proportions in its
simplest form.
The germ idea was trestle with
two end supports of inverted shape
and connecting bar on the top. AS

inch in diameter. This was in 1863.
By 1879 there were lines five inches in

Today the line from Oklahoma to New
