Description |
English: PH Coll 516.1449 The second Red Cabin Creek Bridge was constructed starting in 1916. It was built about one-half mile downstream from the original Red Cabin Creek Bridge and from Hamilton Logging Company's camp no. 3. The new bridge was part of a railroad line relocation. It was 600 feet long and 132 feet high from water level to the top of the rail. Douglas fir poles were used in various lengths from 70 to 130 feet. The English Lumber Company had a controlling interest in the Hamilton Logging Company, which did business under that name from ca. 1908 to 1917, when the name was changed to the Lyman Timber Company. Hamilton is a community on the north bank of the Skagit River ten miles east of Sedro Woolley in central Skagit County. It was once boomed as The Pittsburgh of the West because of iron and coal deposits in the vicinity. The town was named for William Hamilton, who homesteaded the land on which the town was built. His land claim was made in 1877 and the town was incorporated in 1891, when Hamilton's name was given to it. Caption on image: Highest single pole bridge in world. Height 132 ft., 6 in. R.A. Thomas, Con. Hamilton Logging Co. Kinsey Photo. No. 19 CK264Ta.
