Wow! 
Love the cribbed tressle! Do the logs go all the way down to the bottom of the gap? What is between the ties and the top row of logs, the logs that are perpindicular to the track? Very nice indeed!

There's no keeping a good man down.
Glad you're back inspiring us, Shamus.

Yes the logs go all the way down to the ground. and underneath the ties are very small logs.

My first thought as I saw your pix was "Lincoln Logs" (sorry about that) - what a unique trestle. What's the prototype?
Hi Bill,
The English Lumber Co. had a prototype in Southern Skagit County in 1908. The trestle, built up of cribbed logs was common in the earlier era before the pile driver was in force. The logs were notched, but didn't use spikes so they could take the logs away when the job was done.

Thanks guys,
The little bit of grass colour is all thats been put down so far, it's what I call making a cake, I bake it, then I will decorate it. The trees were added just for effect for the photo. These will come out soon as a start on the undergrowth takes place.
