It's interesting bridge is a mixture of wooden and steel trusses carrying the Alaska Railroad over Dragonfly Creek on the way to the station at Denali National Park.
Blasterz have learned on our trip to Alaska that in this harsh Arctic climate often times would is a better material to build with then steel.
Since the Alaska Railroad is been carrying tourists to Denali since the 1920s, were going to give them the benefit of the doubt they know what they are doing.
