The FP Line needed a trestle to get from Fulton Park across one of Stephens Creek's ravines in order to continue on at a comparable elevation. No record or trace of this trestle has (yet) been found. I-5 and a SC sewer project likely obliterated any remnants.
Map #3 shows the FP Line landing at the end of today's SW Crestline Drive, which is situated along the top of a natural arm of land between two drainages. It was in a good position and alignment to receive the trolley line tracks from Fulton Park, given a trestle. This is our best guess, based on the FP Line route shown on the 1894 Portland Paving map.
