All wood timbers of the trestle are grained and weathered prior to assembly. The tops of the bents are covered with simulated galvanized metal flashing to prevent burning from falling cinders. While this trestle is straight, it follows a 4% grade.

The track follows the rock face and is slightly above the Gunnison River.

I made the water from poured casting resin with added hardener and colouring. I created the falls with angel hair and spun filter wool. I applied reeds and grasses along the edges while the water was setting. Refer to my article on "Rivers, Falls and Fish" for more information.
