The Raton Canyon Bridge is a train bridge located in Raton Canyon, Blaine County. The bridge crosses over the Cassidy Creek river as it passes a large drop, and connects either side of the Raton Canyon. It is a single-tracked steel deck arch rail bridge. Trains will travel in a clockwise direction, heading across the bridge from south-to-north. At either side of the track are small pathways for maintenance access. It is an extremely narrow bridge with low railings on either side. The bridge's foundation are embedded deep into the canyon walls at either side of the dirt trails. At either side of the bridge are tunnels where the train passes through; on the south side of the bridge, the Raton Canyon Rail Tunnel, and on the north side, the Mount Chiliad Rail Tunnel.
