The Armitage Railroad Bridge between Coburg and Springfield is listed as also being used, but not from the SP. It is shown as being built in 1887 for the OR&N (UP) to cross the John Day River. In 1907 it was replaced and reassembled over the McKenzie River.

These were not little bridges. The Hayden is listed as 224 feet long, the Armitage as 405 feet long.

I would also suspect the bridge over the Calapooya River near Brownsville was another used bridge as photos show it as a Phoenix Column pin connected truss of good size. (Is this still standing or scrapped when line was abandoned in 1985?) There is a smaller one converted to trail use at Mill City, listed as built in 1888 for the SP crossing of Gienega Creek near San Jose (Cienega?) moved to Mill City and strengthened in 1919. I would suspect more of the Tillamook truss bridges are used. Also another Phoenix Column pin connected truss is listed as being replaced between McMinnville and Whiteson over the South Yamhill River.
