same bridge 3 times?


They pass a bridge 3 times in the movie but it looks awfully similar. Is it by any chance the same bridge? :)

I watched it recently and possibly so, but I seem to recall the train passing over a big span and a much smaller one. Also, there was the scene where the unhitched caboose (?) or boxcar full of troops rolled back down the line retracing some of the scenery we had seen before including at least one of the bridges before flying off the track on a curve.

The bridge scenes may have used the same bridge or very similar bridges. In one scene there was snow on the trestle, but at that altitude perhaps snow was possible nine months of the year.

It was a fairly short rail line in the Mts above Lewiston.
I was there for a few weeks during filming. Prior to filming that year, they had expected plentiful snow. Turns out, that year was very sparse. They were constantly asking "Where is the snow ?" Had to make quite a bit up at the climax set / Site. You can tell how spotty it is in the movie at the end.
