 * Symbol possible vote.svg The article is new. Long enough with 1800+ characters. Posted by due date. No image license issues. Earwig's copyvio detector: violation unlikely. QPQ done. [1] there are OR tags in the article, please provide source. [2] the hook needs to be stated in the article and verifiable to a WP:RS. Please fix these.

 * Thank you very much for reviewing this article. [1] The WP:OR statements have now been removed. [2] The hook is now stated in the caption of the first photograph and proven by the photograph. NearEMPTiness (talk) 17:51, 22 April 2016 (UTC)
 * I will accept the image and caption, because the image shows the horizontal logs and there is an old print embedded in the image that verifies that the log-bridge is of Columbia and Nehalem Valley Railroad. However, would you please add a source to Bridges section, and the first para of the History section of the article? We don't want dispute tags, in the article, any more, particularly after the green DYKtick. Ms Sarah Welch (talk) 18:31, 22 April 2016 (UTC)
 * I have now added the outstanding references. NearEMPTiness (talk) 19:04, 22 April 2016 (UTC)
 * One last item. The DYK hook is "bridges" in plural, and can be interpreted to mean all its bridges were built that way. All I can verify is the photo of McBride Creek bridge. Either we reword the hook to "the McBride Creek bridge...", or we need a source that supports all/most/many bridges were built from horizontal logs. Ms Sarah Welch (talk) 20:26, 22 April 2016 (UTC)
