A logging railroad trestle construction over Balke Creek in Little River Valley, circa 1907-1910. Little River Redwood Co. constructed a short line to join the Carson Co. line toward Fieldbrook. This was the highest single spile trestle (110 ft) in the world at that time. The engineers didn't like going over this trestle, as it wiggled.

I borrowed it and had several copies made. I tho't you might enjoy it and the memories it brings. I trust the coming year may bring peace and joy to you and yours. Lovingly-Ella T. Georgeson"
