There are two Boggy Creek heritage rail bridges in Victoria.
The one pictured was part of the Wodonga to Cudgewa railway line in north eastern Victoria. The rail line was started in 1887 and was finally extended to Cudgewa in 1921. The rail line was in use for approximately eighty years.
More recently, the Victorian Government has converted several of the unused lines into bicycle trails which have proved to be very popular. The Boggy Creek timber trestle bridge is part of the High Country Rail Trail but cyclists are required to dismount and detour around the crossing.
The bridge is an example of a timber beam and trestle construction. It follows a curve across the creek bed and uses heavy and very strong Australian hardwood members.
