The Lake Ewauna Bridge is a non-functioning lift bridge that spans Lake Ewauna and is part of the Burlington Northern Sante Fe Railroad. This bridge was built in the early 1900s and was frequently used in hauling log trains across the lake. Since logging operations shut down in the late 1980s in the area, trains rarely cross this bridge now and the lift mechanism of the bridge hasn't functioned in many decades. In fact, the electric mechanisms have been removed in the small shed on the bridge.
The bridge is owned by the railroad and on private property, so the best coordinates to view the bridge and take pictures are:
N 42.209702, W -121.786095
Visit Instructions:
1) After you've found a vertical lift bridge, go visit it, get the coordinates, a picture or two of it, and if it is in use or not still as a lift bridge.
Then log it and post your pictures! At least one of the photos must be of you and your GPS there with the bridge in the background. (No old vacation shots or photos off the internet!)
2) Include the coordinates, city/county/state/country and the name of the bridge (if it has one).
3) Include any interesting information about the structure
