Train Trestle in Stephens County

The “Wells Viaduct” was constructed between the years 1915 to 1919. The Chief Engineer of the project was W.H.Wells. The trestle is the highest trestle on the line between Washington D.C. and New Orleans, Louisiana.
The trestle is approximately 1,400 feet long and is supported by ten reinforced concrete piers with heights of up to 200 feet above the valley of the North Fork of the Broad River. Information from: https://kittstratton.com/tag/north-broad-trestle/
