Alameda County, California Bridges: Niles Canyon Railroad Bridge across Alameda Creek

June 2014 (37.59498 Degrees, -121.90267 Degrees) UP Niles Canyon RR Bridge
Freight and passenger trains also use the Niles Canyon Railway bridges. We are at the eastern end of Niles Canyon and the railroad no longer crosses State Route 84. However, the tracks continually cross over hills, across ravines, and over Alameda Creek through tunnels and bridges. 

The UP Niles Canyon Railway Bridge is a 455 ft long crossing with plate girder approach spans and two Warren through truss main spans across Alameda Creek.
