Santa Fe Arroyo Seco Railroad Bridge, Railroad bridge in Highland Park, Los Angeles, California.
The Santa Fe Arroyo Seco Railroad Bridge extends 710 feet across the Arroyo Seco Parkway, reaching a height of 56 feet above the canyon floor.
Constructed in 1896, this steel bridge replaced a wooden trestle from 1889 that served the Southern California Railway, a subsidiary of the Santa Fe Railroad.
The bridge earned designation as Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument number 339 in 1988 through efforts by the Highland Park Heritage Trust.
After mainline rail service ended in 1994, the structure underwent modifications to support the Metro Rail system, which began operations in 2003.
This structure maintains its position as the tallest and longest railroad span within Los Angeles city limits, while remaining the oldest operational railway bridge.
