These gorgeous bridges were built probably around 1911 to serve the Fort Worth & Denver RR, a subsidiary RR of the Burlington Northern RR.
The morning Blasterz were there, we were unable to get a better shot of the bridges from the railroad ROW because the BNSF was running remote control trains over the bridges, assembling a train. Mama Blaster did not want to get too close to the unmanned locomotives.
