Hintok, Thailand. c. September 1945. The curved trestle bridge approximately 154 kilometres north of Nong Pladuk (also known as Non Pladuk) and approximately two kilometres south of Hintok station. This was one of six trestle bridges between Konyu cutting (Hellfire Pass) 152 kilometres and Hintok 155 kilometres from Nong Pladuk. Just north of Hintok station was the site of the Pack of Cards Bridge. This three tiered trestle bridge 400 yards long and eighty feet high fell down three times during its construction, hence its name. The site was abandoned in September 1943, when a high earth and rock embankment adjacent to it was completed. By the end of the war in 1945, the bridge structure had completely collapsed and disappeared under jungle regrowth. Photographs of the Hintok curved trestle bridge have been erroneously title The Pack of Cards Bridge. There is no known photograph of it. Its distance from Thanbyuzayat was approximately 258 kilometres. (Donor A. Mackinnon)
