Goodwin Hollow - Deck Plate Girder - Bridge MP 183.8 - Lebanon, MO, MP 181.8 - Lebanon Subdivision

I'm still fascinated with the idea of a switching layout based on Lebanon - around two walls of my 14' x 20' spare room.

Can any of you post a photograph of this trestle?

Is it still there?

When was the Lebanon passing siding removed?

Thanks.

Doug,

I have a Frisco Track Chart dated May 1, 1978.

There is a bridge at MP 183.80 listed as a deck plate girder (DPG) and there is a passing siding that terminates past the bridge.

There are no other bridges listed between MP 184 -MP185.

I went to Google maps it showed that there is a bridge past the city limits, as a single track bridge and does not appear as a trestle type.

Perhaps there are Frisco historians that can give you an answer.

Thanks guys.

 

John,

I also have that track chart.

Mine shows a bridge or something at 184.1 with a long annotation with a bunch of abbreviations.

Google Earth shows an interesting shadow plus a quarry or something just north of it.

BTW, I'd love to run your railroad some day, especially Dixon Hill.

 

There is indeed a drainage structure at 184.06.

It is a 3 x 3 x 43 foot stone masonry box.

Since it is stone and not concrete, it would seem to be a very old structure, and perhaps it ante dates the 1920s.

Modern day betterments have been made.

Several corrugated metal pipes (CMP) have been added to the box and on each side of the box.

 

There was a wooden trestle on a siding located in the same general area.

This siding use to go to the Detroit Tool building.

I have a few pictures for it that I took when I was a teenager growing up in Lebanon, but I can't find them!

I will keep digging.
