Gimlet Pegram Truss Railroad Bridge, Railroad bridge in Blaine County, Idaho.

The Gimlet Pegram Truss Railroad Bridge spans 217 feet across the Big Wood River with concrete piers supporting its single-span steel construction.

Originally built in 1894 for the Snake River crossing in Ontario, Oregon, the bridge was relocated to its current location near Ketchum in 1914.

The bridge served Union Pacific luxury trains transporting skiers to Sun Valley resort from 1936 to 1981, reflecting the region's winter sports development.

The structure provides 21 feet of clearance above the roadbed and currently functions as a pedestrian crossing managed by Blaine County Recreation District.

The bridge represents one of the few remaining examples of Pegram truss design, engineered by George H. Pegram and fabricated by Edge Moor Bridge Works.
