Need info on Wolf Creek trestle on Oregon (SP) Tillamook branch.

Tring to model a compressed version of the trestleBlindfold [X-)].  Can't find this information in any book except pictures in (Southern Pacific in Oregon).

1. Only have two pictures of the bridge.   The bridge apears to have some bents with 6 piles and some that have 5 is this correct/normal?

 2. what angles should the piles be at for the 5 or 6 pile bentsConfused [%-)]?

3. What is the bent spacing?

4. The section over the river is it wood or steel?

5. What are the sections on the hand rail with angled planking near the fire buckets?

Go to http://spcascades.railfan.net/ and contact him. Ask nicely if he knows if he could point you in the right direction. Or contact Joe Fugate (often posting on this forum) and do the same. That would be my best bet. Both are very good people.
Railroads are "a device of Satan to lead immortal souls to hell." - an Ohio school board, 1831 - quoted in CTC Board 8/05 "If you ever wonder how you have freedom... Think, a veteran!!!" - My thought 1/08 Hey man, I don't have to try to remember the 60's... I lived too close to Eugene, Oregon.
