FM 78 at Cibolo Creek looking southeast (1921)
The was before a road bridge was built at this site. At the time, the
FM 78 corridor was SH 3. The road running left-to-right is today's
Aviation Blvd. The truss railroad trestle was replaced in the late
1980s.

FM 78 just south of Loop 1604 looking north (1921)
The location was not given with the photo, but the caption for this
photo indicated it was the site of a future road bridge on the same
segment of road as the previous photo at Cibolo Creek. There is
currently a bridge on FM 78 just south of Loop 1604 today, but no
trestle for the railroad. However, old aerial photos show there was a
trestle of this approximate length at this location until around 1970
when that section was double-tracked and the trestle replaced with
large culverts. There is one other location along this former stretch
of SH 3 that has a bridge and an adjacent trestle-- it's on today's FM
3502 at Converse Rd. But that trestle is significantly longer than the
one in this photo, and there's the intersecting road which old maps
seem to indicate was there in 1921 but is not in the photo. So the
location just inside Loop 1604 seems to be the most likely location.
This would then be looking toward the north

FM 78 just south of Loop 1604 looking northeast (1921)
This is the same location as the previous photo but looking toward the
northeast. The topography in the distance helps to confirm its likely
location.
