Trestle Trail Website"The restored Santa Fe Railroad Truss once was a main route for trains crossing the floodway, today it welcomes only pedestrians and bikers. The bridge was originally built in 1879. It was rebuilt a number of times during subsequent years, and the Trinity Project has taken it back to its original splendor. The City worked closely with the Texas Historic Commission to update the bridge for today's safety and aesthetic standards, while still preserving the majority of its original attributes."
