The bridge at the head of Fox Gulch carries the T.V.R.R. line across a narrow cut where the gulch begins, a spot where a timber or iron span was often the only practical way for a railroad to keep its grade. Lines like this were built in the late 19th and early 20th centuries to haul ore, timber, and supplies into hilly mining and logging country, and their trestles were among the most expensive and most exposed parts of the route. Look at how the structure meets the slopes on either side, since that joint, rather than the deck itself, shows how the builders adapted the line to the ground.
