Railway bridge

Secret Town trestle, ca. 1870
Chinese laborers fill Secret Town trestle, 1877

Secret Town was the site of a very long trestle railroad bridge. The 1100 ft (335 m) long and 95 ft (29 m) high Secret Town wooden trestle on the Central Pacific Railroad's grade, like most of the other trestles of the line, was filled in with earth and rock after the railroad opened to traffic and could afford to send Chinese laborers back to improve the right-of-way by reducing the risk of catching fire from smokestack sparks as steam locomotives crossed.[3]
