On 12/2/12 ARR employee Jeff DeBroeck added, "The pictures of the trestle indicate this occurred at Honolulu creek, the sharp bend by the highway. There is some mention of an incident like this one in Princes book. The direction of water flow, local terrain and fauna as well as the ridge in the back ground upstream all say to me its Honolulu. This is on the curve of original track before the realignment that is now on a steel thru truss adjacent to this spot."
