During the next few weeks, we'll look back at some of the community's better
known railroad bridges. In 1910, this bridge was built across the Issaquah Creek
near the present-day hatchery. The tracks went from the main line at the depot
to the mines on Mine Hill, then looped around to rejoin the main line just
behind the existing apartment building at 850 Front St. S. What appears to be a
hand car is on the bridge, above the second pillar from the left. In 1923, the
rails were removed and the 'Issaquah loop' was no longer used. The bridges
remained for many years, however.
