Thank You.

I have three questions about this one.

What is it (should be very easy)?
Where is it (be very specific please)?
Why is it abandoned (might be kind of difficult)?

Winner is the one to answer whichever is the last of the three questions tp be answered.


USA then?
Pluto will always be a planet to me.

Could be in the Sierras in California - I've seen similar abandoned rail bridges and logging flumes hiking around Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. Don't get up that way much anymore.

Abandoned when the mines or mills closed.

No and No.

[edit 1]

(Although in an interesting twist, the stokers coal shovel does have something to do with the problem - very indirectly).

[edit 2]
After some thought, so does dining - very indirectly of course.

[edit 3]
You won't get the first two edits until you know the entire history of the location, and even then the link might have to be explained.

Appearances to the contrary, is this at trolley-car bridge (aka streetcar) - they used canvas because they were light duty and not freight haulers.

No probably not because it leads to the much more likely thought on my one track standard "guage" (lol) mind:
is this a passenger only rail line? Hence dining cars ... .?

Is it East of the Mississippi?

Suddenly I'm thinking of the rail lines that the Union army tore up to cut the Confederate supply lines during out Civil War.
