Gaynor Trestle

Introduction

Text-to-speech Audio

We will soon be crossing the over 500-foot-long Gaynor Trestle. Look on both sides of the train for a dramatic view of Nason Creek flowing in a deep gorge. The trestle and tunnel were constructed in 1949 to straighten the track and ease the climb of trains up the eastern slope of the Cascade Mountains.
