Clio trestle, Railway bridge in Plumas County, California, US.
Clio Trestle is a railway bridge crossing a deep valley in the Sierra Nevada mountains. It consists of wooden and steel construction and stands as a notable structure above the surrounding terrain.
Western Pacific Railroad built this bridge in 1909 as a key component of the Feather River Route. This connection made rail transport feasible through challenging mountain terrain between distant cities.
The bridge features in the Western Pacific Railroad Museum's exhibition titled '7 Wonders of the Western Pacific Railroad World'.
The bridge can be viewed from several vantage points along nearby roads, with the best views when approaching from different directions. Clear weather makes it easier to see the full span and appreciate its scale.
The bridge was technically remarkable for its era, constructed without modern machinery using traditional engineering methods. Local workers and craftspeople played a central role in bringing this structure to completion.
