A trip to Tulip Trestle (pics)

[2TONYB]

My wife, two of our kids, and I took a drive to the Tulip Trestle. Having lived my entire life in Indiana, I decided I needed to see this thing! It was well worth the drive to Greene County. Construction began in 1905. It is approximately 2300 ft. long and 157 ft high at one point. It has 18 support towers. It is the longest bridge of this type in the U.S. and the 3rd longest in the world. If you are ever near Bloomington take a drive to see it.

Very cool trestle. Looks like it needs a little paint, though.

Looks like the trees are starting to turn. Its still in the 80's and 90's here in Cali.

That's a nice piece of engineering
