It is likely that the bridge built in 1944 was just to the left of the current bridge. Note the presence of a stone bridge in Photos 38 and 39, presumably damaged beyond use, to the right of the trestle bridge. The modern bridge is likely in the location of the stone bridge rather than the trestle bridge built in 1944.
