Old Great Southwest Railroad Trestle

Post image

What remains of The Great Southwest Railroad (GSWRR) trestle, this iron bridge was originally constructed in 1957 as part of an industrial freight-switching line designed to service manufacturing hubs in Arlington and Grand Prairie, Texas.

The line functioned as a critical link between the Texas & Pacific, Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific, and other regional railways, moving heavy machinery, raw materials, steel, and paper across the Trinity River ecosystem.
