Camas Prairie Railroad Bridge and Tunnel (WMP5E)

The railroad came up Lapwai Creek to this area on a three percent grade crossing several wooden trestles, including the one at Rock Creek (WMAHWG). Eight tenths of a mile north of here the railroad also crosses over the highway on a trestle and deck girder bridge (WMAHXE). Emerging from the tunnel the railroad continues to climb the canyon wall crossing several more wooden trestles and another tunnel before crossing the curved “Halfmoon” trestle (WMAHWG) (685-foot long, 141-foot high).
