Description

Title: Train crossing ravine, Yunnan, China, 1938
Published / Created: between 1900 and 1920
Description: "(3) This is the cantilever bridge at the head of a long, long ravine, up which the railroad ran to gain altitutde. I imagine on the map this detour must look something like this: (hand diagram) with the further part of the loop hundreds of feet above the nearer - or thousand of feet. The two parts of the bridge were built perpendicular on the cliff wall, then lowered down & pinned together." A train is shown crossing a trestle bridge in a mountain gorge.
