The Goat Canyon Trestle, located in San Diego, California

The Goat Canyon Trestle, located in San Diego, California, is the longest wooden railroad bridge in the world. Built from redwood beams, this impressive bridge spans 185 meters and reaches a height of almost 57 meters. It is part of the stretch known as the Carrizo Gorge, a section of the railway route that received the nickname “the impossible railway” in 1919 due to the extreme technical and logistical difficulties involved in its construction. This emblematic bridge is a testimony to the engineering of the early 20th century that remains an architectural marvel today.
