Elkhorn Trestle at Siphon and 12,000 cfs in the Bypass at the Tule Canal gage site.

            On this day the Yolo Bypass was starting to flood back up.  Measured flows at this location at the time the photograph was taken were around 12,000 cfs but the flows continued to increase up to about 38,000 cfs two days later.  The rails from here into Woodland are rusty and unused and will likely be removed at some point in the future.  The fate of the trestle, one of the longest in the west, will likely follow that of the rails.  From my observations, it seems like once wooden trestles stop being used by railroads they succumb to fire.
