Whittier railroad bridge 1852a

Driving along Whittier Blvd in Whittier, you come across this rather surprising railroad bridge. The bridge is surprising because it looks out of place in what is a residential area on the edge of central Whittier.

The bridge is on an abandoned section of railroad that was Union Pacific but has now been converted into a bike path. There are actually three bridges in this section, two original and one a replacement due to seismic concerns.
