It was a water pipe line. If you keep following the trail you can see more parts of it and tunnels for it. The pipe started at Lake Yolanda (Sp?) just up stream on the Wenatchee. The water was channeled down to a power plant (You can still see the foundations at the parking area by the bridge) The power was then used to power all of the trains going over Stevens Pass. I'm not sure when it was used but I have seen one picture of the power plant in a Wenatchee History book. If you keep going up the trail you will get to a cliff right over the river. Right there is an overhanging rock and you can see native petroglyphs on the wall. I know this bridge well. It was a water pipe line.
