Learning Our Landscape

 History of the Dungeness River Railroad Bridge

and the North Olympic Peninsula Railroads

Thursday, July 13

Presented by Ken Wiersema 

The completion of the Dungeness River Railroad Bridge in 1915, and the subsequent rail connection to Port Townsend, brought modern land-based transportation to the North Olympic Peninsula.

Built to enable transporting the Peninsula’s timber to the markets of the world, the railroad made lasting marks on the North Olympic Peninsula's landscape and economy.

Learn how the bridge was designed and built, and how it has been repaired and transformed as an important pedestrian crossing over the Dungeness River on the Olympic Discovery Trail that stretches from Port Townsend past Lake Crescent.
