Stepping Out |
| Description: |
The Holcomb Creek Trestle is nearly 1200 feet long and almost 100 feet tall at its highest point. It is the longest and tallest active timber rail trestle in North America today and sees two trains each day, both of them the Harbor Turn. |

How's the View? |
| Description: |
SD40-2 twins 3052 and 3053 make their way over the towering Holcomb Creek Trestle with the Harbor Turn behind them. Normally this train goes back empty so the loaded log cars (what it took down) is very strange indeed. |

Almost There |
| Description: |
Track speed on the trestle is 10 mph so it takes some time to get across. This line saw no trains between 1994 and 1998 and came within inches of being turned into a rail trail. Thank God that didn't happen. |

There's not much traffic to stop in North Plains, Oregon as 3052 and 3053 slice NW Main Street in half. This is one of only three grade crossings in town. |
