| Caption | Old and new Northern Pacific Railway and Milwaukee railroad tracks and construction at Kanaskat. During this period adjustments were being made because of Howard Hanson Dam construction at Eagle Gorge.

The Milwaukee Railroad trestle is the lower of the two overpasses, and was later replaced with a fill. The upper trestlework is the new Northern Pacific line under construction. Wooden piling was later replaced with concrete piers.
