Rock Creek Trestle Demolition Progress April 8, 2019Georgetown Branch related links, History, News, Prototypebsullivan A #PurpleLine crew helps a 300-ton crane move a 42.5-ton section of the Rock Creek Bridge. Two new bridges will be built on the site to carry @mtamaryland's new 16.2-mile light rail system & the Capital Crescent Trail. https://t.co/t5V8OAvVhl #MDOTscenes #PurpleLineMD pic.twitter.com/qGqx1IRWCi— Purple Line (@PurpleLineMD) April 5, 2019 View is west, standing on the northern side of the right of way. The Creek and the trestle are behind the crane. Sadness.
Here’s also a great pic of the trestle if you haven’t seen it from 1986, just one year after abandonment, too bad the photographer didn’t think to take a couple more: http://s3.amazonaws.com/rrpa_photos/11677/Rockcreek1.jpg
