working on the railroad trestle

For those of you that are not aware we have a train trestle over the Petaluma river (creek at this point), the SMART crews are now working on making sure its sound, their work has been going on for the past week.
Now if SMART would clear some fallen trees and old pilings next to it, paddling would be a lot easier

KUDOS to SMART... even in this remote area of the river SMART thought enough to put large nets to trap anything before it gets in the river..WTG SMART!!

There is a change going on, this Thursday the old trestle will start being demolished to make room for a new one, not to worry though, the old pilings will remain in place according to an unidentified source with SMART; they appear to be very environmentally aware and responsible.    

Well ladies and gents, tomorrow is the last day for this old trestle, it will be replaced within the next 11 days with a steel and concrete bridge. I'll miss passing under this old trestle. 

I am happy to report, that; there was very little debris that entered the river due to the destruction/construction of the trestle. SMART did a great job, in my humble opinion. Now if they would just dredge the river upstream for a mile or so...

I hope you enjoyed watching the transformation
