Description
"Chambers Covered Bridge" by Thom Zehrfeld
The Chambers Covered Bridge is an old railroad bridge that was destroyed in a fire and rebuilt. It is located in Cottage Grove, Oregon and, isn't too far from downtown.
The bridge is 78 feet long and spans the Coast fork of the Willamette River. It was built in 1925 for trains to haul logs to a saw mill.
Unfortunately, the mill burned down for a second time in the 50's and the railroad tracks were removed but, the bridge was left.
The Chambers Covered Bridge is the only remaining fully covered railroad bridge west of the Mississippi.
What's cool is the surrounding Cottage Grove area has a slew of covered bridges and a super neat downtown.
