... that the rail right-of-way leading to the Third Street Railroad Trestle was abandoned? Source: "The structure is currently owned by Union Pacific Railroad Company but the railroad right-of-way to and from the trestle was abandoned." ([1] p.6)
ALT1: ... that the Third Street Railroad Trestle is the last remaining wooden trestle bridge in downtown Austin, Texas? Source: "The trestle ... is the last example of an early 20th century wooden railroad trestle in downtown Austin." ([2] p.17)
Both hooks are ok, but I believe ALT1 is more interesting than ALT0. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 16:11, 9 December 2021 (UTC)
