900 foot long 115 year old wood trestle bridge was set on fire, cause unknown. Came down like dominoes

The Harmony Ridge Bridge in Lampasas County, Texas, dated back to when the railroad was built in 1910. It is a fully working railroad belonging to the Heart of Texas Railroad. It carried trains hauling frack sand and wheat from Brady, Texas.

The Harmony Ridge Trestle was located in a remote area at least 8-10 miles from a main highway. The fire was considered too dangerous to fight by the volunteer firemen that responded. They did not have enough water to put out all of flaming trestles anyway.
