From the cache location you once could clearly see an old truss bridge across the Clackamas River. In the 1890's electric railway service opened in Gladstone running down Portland Street, th crossing the Clackamas River to head into Oregon City. The line connected Downtown Portland and Oregon City. Sadly the only thing left is the bridge over the Clackamas river.
The Bridge was opened in 1893. Passenger service ended in 1958. Freight service ended in 1968 due to concerns of the Bridge's structural intergity, plus the Papermill in Oregon City was better served by the Southern Pacific (Now Union Pacific) Railroad.
The Bridge is a Warren Truss Bridge. The main span is 260 Feet, Total length 290 feet. Unfortunately the bridge collapsed during the winter of 2014. There old bridge is gone. You can see the old Bridge abutment on the other side of the river. It is a shame the bridge is gone. I placed this cache when there was hope to restore the bridge, but it is now a true Disappearing RR Blues cache.
The Cache is a Lock-n-Lock, and is not accessible if the river is running high.
