Oregon Trunk Rail Bridge, Railway bridge in Celilo Village, Oregon, US.
The Oregon Trunk Rail Bridge extends across the Columbia River with eight steel truss spans and includes a vertical-lift section for river navigation.
Engineer Ralph Modjeski designed this Pratt truss bridge in 1912, marking a significant advancement in railway infrastructure across the Pacific Northwest.
The bridge construction occurred near the original Celilo Falls, a location that held importance for indigenous communities before The Dalles Dam submerged the area.
BNSF Railway operates this single-track railroad bridge, connecting Oregon Trunk Junction to Wishram while facilitating freight movement across the Columbia River.
The structure underwent modifications in 1957, raising its entire length by 5 feet and replacing the original swing span with a vertical-lift mechanism.
