yeah, we go dip knetting every in Chitna and this year we traveled down the a trail that used to be where the train tracks layed on from the Mine, theres 3 more sections of tressle out there and we only went 9 miles in the trails about 60 miles long, its amazing, old cabins, found a rail road spike that must of been thrown in the woods, found old tunnells the train went through, really cool to see all that stuff still standing, gotta love it
Great job. My dad actually did exploration contracting for Kennecott Copper in the Coast Mountains of British Columbia during the early 1970's, just northwest of the Tahtsa Watershed. Stunning country. I loved spending summers there in camp.
Did that curved trestle you filmed have a cant in the deck? Thats where the deck was angled to accomodate trains at speed much like an elevation in a curve
I believe so, but the trestle was in very bad condition, so I did not climb up the hillside to see it from the track level. It was still really amazing that the trestle was built in only a few days, and has survived for so long.

Not sure. It was an old Ford modified possibly with the gas tank placed on top of the cab. Much was missing, so it was hard to tell.
