This 1933 photo from the Skykomish Historical Society was taken from the Great Northern Railway tracks about one mile east of Tonga. Looking northwest, you can see the railroad across the valley in the center of the photo, curving around the hill on the right. I have added the approximate location of Highway 2, the Old Cascade Highway was in use in 1933, you can see part of it south of the Tye River.
This was much too easy, less than a mile up 6066 are pilings for a railroad bridge, clearly visible from the road. It must have been about 300 feet long and 10-12 feet off the ground. The diagonal pieces are 2x8 braces spiked to the pilings. See the Google map above for approximate location of the bridge remains.
