Description: Dale Creek Trestle Site Another fabled locale on the Union Pacific portion of the First Transcontinental Railroad is the Dale Creek Crossing Site. The original wooden structure was quite an engineering feat in itself for the time. Before the line was relocated to the south at the beginning of the 20th century, there were three iterations of the trestle—the first of wood, the second made of iron, and the third the iron bridge strengthened with steel. Footings still exist near the edge of the creek that Grenville Dodge said one “could easily step across.” Access to this site is restricted due to it being on private property. (10-29_DSC_0073)
