It is one of only two steel arch bridges in the state of Colorado. It was built in 1939 and 1940 and opened for traffic in 1941. $3.6 million was put into repairing the bridge in 2004. It has been entered in to the National Register of Historic Places, so very few changes were made to the look of the bridge. The lower bridge leads to the small town of Red Cliff, CO.

The rocks have been lying along the tracks for so long, plants are starting to grow up through the rocks! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture. Photo ID: 105344 Date Shot Photo By Saturday, July 11, 2015 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed East Belden Red Cliff, CO 2049 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Tennessee Pass (UP) Union Pacific The siding of Belden is just shy of being two miles long. It is also difficult to see most of the siding as it runs along the Eagle River deep in a canyon. The east end can be viewed from above from U.S. 24. looking down toward the canyon. Due to the grade, eastbounds holding the siding would sometimes have to make multiple attempts to depart! If they could not get sufficient traction, they would stall out and back down into the siding at try again. Here, you can see a couple of rock slide, covering portions of the siding!

Looking west toward the US-24 overpass, some major bushes are growing just beyond the overpass that have totally enveloped the siding and are nearing the main.

This is the view from the US-24 overpass high above the valley floor near Red Cliff. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

During the couple hours I spent along the tracks between Minturn and Buena Vista, this was the most significant instance of rocks on the tracks that I noticed. Granted, I couldn't see every foot of track along the way. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The lighting here is certainly better in the morning, but you can see the signal at east Belden standing around the corner from the switch.
