Hoover-Mason Trestle, Elevated park and railway bridge in Bethlehem, United States.
The Hoover-Mason Trestle stretches 1,650 feet in length and stands 46 feet high, featuring a walkway that runs parallel to five preserved blast furnaces.
Built in 1905, this narrow gauge railroad transported raw materials like coke, limestone, and iron ore from the Lehigh River to the Bethlehem Steel blast furnaces.
The industrial heritage site now functions as both an educational space and recreational area, displaying the steel manufacturing process through informational exhibits.
Visitors can access the trestle through stairs or elevator at the Bethlehem Visitor Center, with free parking available at Wind Creek Bethlehem and the Visitor Center.
The metal produced at this location contributed to the construction of major structures including the Golden Gate Bridge and over 1,000 ships during World War II.
