The Bear, just to fill you in with some more details. When the line was built, in 1916, there was a stone arch bridge across the Steffenbach creek, which did not survive the first winter, never having seen a train crossing it. Due to WW I , reconstruction was put off and the line actually went bankrupt. In the early 1920´s, the line was sold, and the new owners (the county and some communities along the line) had the new folding bridge constructed. What an effort, as train season was only 3 1/2 months a year!
