HIGH BRIDGE SPANNING WESTERN CANYON

One of the highest railroad structures in the United States is the bridge spanning the Pecos river canyon, 216 miles west of San Antonio, Tex. The distance from the bed of the stream to the track is 321 feet. The bridge is a light-appearing structure

consisting of girders and deck trusses carried on lofty steel towers. The magnificence of the view from the deck of this bridge is said to be exceeded only by that of the Grand canyon, famed the world over.—Popular Mechanics.
