Thank-you so much for posting this. I am 67 now and in a wheelchair due to a rough life and lots of hard work. I used to get out and take walks like this all the time when I was younger and I really miss it. Watching you guys do is as good as it gets for me now. I like the way you use the camera and show it as a kind of POV video. Great job and please keep them coming. Dizzy

That bridge looks like it's in better shape than a lot of bridges that are still open in the US!

Crazy how quickly nature can take back an area that most likely was bustling with activity not too long ago. Great vid, as always!

My 90 year old dad sketched out a scene where he as a young boy in overalls in the 1930’s sitting on a steel bridge in southern Tennessee fishing with his Victorian era grandmother. He hired an artist to do it up in pen and watercolor and now hangs in his cottage.

The date on the side of the rail is the date that it was rolled. To the right of that would be dash marks. Count those and that will give you the month that the rail was rolled at the mill. example 4 dash marks would be April

Thank you for taking us exploring with you and always giving us a part of history when available.

Very interesting video gentleman. It's amazing how nature reclaims what was once theirs in as little as 20 years time. Over the past century our nation has lost hundreds of thousands of miles of railway lines to abandonment. On this particular line you're exploring I'm guessing who ever owned the line at the time of abandonment must have decided it would have been more expensive to remove the rails and sell them as scrap metal then to just leave them there and I'm glad they did so. Our nation has lost too much of it's railway history. In many areas nobody would have a clue that there was once a major railway line or rail yard in thousands of locations across the country. Please stay safe and continue your excellent work because many of us really appreciate what you're doing.

You guys in the USA are so fortunate to have sucha great country such wide open spaces...my dream is to visit your country one day....Ernest...South Africa

Thank you for not playing background 'music'.

Great walk in the woods video, with no artificial drama added. You have a good eye for a few artistic shots as well. Very peaceful.

I love the way Cody always seems to be smiling, its always great to see smiling faces especially Cody's

This reminds me of abandoned tracks in Westville Illinois that we would walk on back in the 1980's. They led to an old abandoned coal mine, it looked like they just packed up and left everything one day and left everything behind. It was really neat!

I really enjoyed our ramble thru the woods and across the bridge. I will be looking forward to more adventures to come. Thanks guys.

Theory: the original wooden trestle was replaced with the steel trestle in the early 1950s. The old trestle was dismantled and hauled to nearby storage and burning locations. They burned it to 1) dispose of it, and 2) to reclaim the scrap iron - they did the same thing with old wooden freight cars. It's also possible that the new trestle is pre-WWII and that they started burning the old one as part of a scrap metal drive for the war effort.

The high school age me would have been walking on the side boards of that bridge, now 4 decades later I'd be crawling. Great video, thanks guys.

for someone who has a fear of heights, you confronted it very well....better than what I could have accomplished!! Thanks for the video!!

#362 Thanks for taking us along! Be careful walking the rails, they aren't forgiving if something bad happens. Retired from the Rail Roads.

Hello Robert, Brian and Cody. I discovered the channel this past weekend and I just want to say wow you guys are amazing. The content on the channel is truly amazing. I’ve been binge watching when I can. I’m loving the old cemetery explores and off the beaten path ones as well. Being a history nerd I’m always interested in the Civil War stuff as well. Keep the great work. I’m always looking forward to the next video.

That bridge reminded me of the movie Stand By Me when the kids were walking across the bridge

This video really brings me back to the many Sunday afternoons, me,my mom and dad,would take long walks on the railroad tracks close to our house..those were some lovely times❣❣

This is exactly what KZfaq is about. Well done. Yes, I subscribed.

Fascinating video! I live in GA and used to love exploring places like that in my younger days.

What an awesome video! Touring a place I've never been nor likely will ever be. Thanks for sharing.

Very much enjoyed this from a couple that explore abandoned railways in the UK. Look forward to more like this. 👍👍

Thanks. Great video. I felt like I was on this adventure with you guys.

I love abandoned buildings, roads, rails etc. You can see the past and imagine how it was there.

This is one of the most ideal days I can think of . Hiking and exploring with my friends on a beautiful warm day. Reminds me of doing that kind of thing as a kid and all the fond memories of it. Would love to do it some more, even though i'm 45!

This was good... "Someday that bottle will be older than it is"... Funny... And then you said "do they still make RC?"... I was like, I'm drinking a two litre of RC right now... That bottle was from about the late '70s to mid '80s... They quit making "RC" for a while, I believe, then started making it again around the late '90s to early 2000s... The sigh with the "0" was a 30mph speed zone marker... Probably for the upcoming tressel... Hey, watch out for the ghost train... Awesome explore though, keep it up...

Great video, with equally great narration. The perfect watch for this Sunday morning!

That bottle - "One day it'll be.... a lot older than it is now"!!! Classic comment!

This is really cool! Thanks for sharing!👍

Great video so much history thank you for showing

Cool Video! Just imagine the thousands of trains that passed through there, and the history that has taken place on those old rails. Really cool spot!

That bridge was tense! Great adventure!😇❤🙏

that flowing water....so soothing

I'm a new sub from Calgary, Alberta, Canada and I loved the explore video of the abandoned railway line and the bridge. You're not a chicken! I'm scared of heights too. That is a very legit feeling. Always listen to your instincts.

Another great adventure to a place I would never know about or get to experience!

Awesome video guys. Reminds me of my childhood in kopperston WV

Amazing and Beautiful! Thank You!!

Robert. Great adventure. Thanks for taking us along!!

Thanks, that was a nice explore. I was worried when you were crossing that old rickety RR bridge, I'm also afraid of heights.

Cool bridge! Really nice forest that you've got there in Georgia! Cheers from New Zealand!

So amazing to see Bryan out and about after that health scare. I know that getting out to adventure is doing him a world of good and he looks fit and healthy. Super video guys!

Awesome thank you so much for sharing this with me and please be safe out there and God bless you and your family and friends

Those rails were produced by Tennessee Coal Iron & Railroad Company (TCI-U.S. Steel) at Ensley, Alabama. Central Of Georgia Railroad was a big purchaser of TCI's. Great Video! Thanks for the upload sir.

Okay now you've got my full and undivided attention!! 😀 Anyting old or abandoned rail related really piques my interests. These tracks, bridges and yards literally built this country!! I'm always out following tracks, exploring old tunnels, Bridges, abandoned Yards, hell even rail museums!! To some these are just old desolate tracks, to others it is beautiful history built and used by people just trying to make a paycheck support their families. The families that would grow up and eventually become our grandparents!! This bridge and tracks are absolutely beautiful, thank you for going out there and bringing us this amazing history!! Great job, and there's always be safe out there my friends

Well done. Always something fascinating about old-overgrown RR tracks. Just makes you want to explore them.

Thanks a lot guys for sharing your adventures. It's nice for those of us that can't do that any more.

Great tour !!!!

thanks for the vid love trains

Thank you for your video! When I was younger I'd do the bridge with no problem!! Now it's a different story!! So glad you are doing all these wonderful story's!

Such an old soul shows behind those eyes...signs of a wise young man.

That was a fun walk! Tnx 👌

Loved this! That was cool!

That was a great railway bridge and good finds along the way thanks for sharing.

Awesome , Thanks for the tour 👍

Great video......I'm originally from Atlanta's southside....looks like it could be part of the old CofGA/SouRR line running between Newnan and Griffin. I know that those rails are still in place. Blackberries and muscadine grapes....oh yeah. Cheers, Greg in VA.

Robert , that was scary walking across that bridge! My husband was telling me will be fine , I was yelling at tv - go back . Nice video to see ! 😀

What a beautiful,video you all made. Thank you- terrific work.

Really enjoying your adventures thank you 😊

really enjoyed the walk. what I found amazing was how much higher they built the rail bridge in the 40s or 50s compared to the late 1800s

Awwww man two of my favorite Georgia things....wild blackberries and muscadines 🤤

Great video, love the old trestle. Thanks for sharing.

thanks for filming and uploading ,,, this is so awesome....

Beautiful land. Just found your channel, subscribed! Thank you!

Great video and exploring. Plenty of those old rails around you. Makes you wonder why they stopped using them.

I'm catching up on all the older videos, I love all the places you've been

That was really beautiful!! Thank you!

Snakes aside you find some really beautiful out of the way places there in Georgia. It's hard to find places like this in Florida.

Thanks for the great vedio I really enjoyed it

Glad my mom found y'all! When I get "home sick" I watch your series 😊 I still drink my RC Cola but leave off the moon pie 😉

Thank you for sharing this. I have a phobia of bridges, which I'm trying to conquer, but this bridge is so pretty and interesting. Worth watching to the end.

Beautiful, and you have a way of showing different point of view that makes me feel like I'm there with y'all. ( w/o the bugs and sweating). Thanks!!

You three are amazing. You are courageous and let others share in your adventures. Please be careful. May God bless you with safety and protect you from the elements; I.e. poisonous snakes, bad bugs, etc. Perhaps you might find another Whistle Stop Cafe. THANKS!

Thanks for sharing rustic / nifty nature.

Another great video from a great group of guys keeping history alive!

Nice video. Abandoned railroads are almost always cool. Even though this line has obviously been abandoned for quite a while, it is still modern enough to have welded rails (ribbon rail). If you look closely, there are no joints between sections of rail. That makes a much smoother ride....no "clickity-clack" while riding the train. Welded rail started becoming popular in the 70s I think. This right of way looks to be in decent shape, in spite of the growth in and around it.

Very interesting. Aqua Chigga would be detecting that stream straight away lol. Thanks guys 👍

I'd especially love something off the beaten path Civil War related. Thanks again, love the channel!

Very cool! Thanks for sharing!

open deck steel plate girder. Probably will last another 20 or so years as long as the steel is solid the deck can weather away and it could be crossed with care. Great video guys.

Very nice find. I subscribed, to your channel. Nicely done.Stay safe.

WOW!! That shot walking down to the creek under the bridge was awesome!!!!

I love abandoned railroad tracks, been some time I watched such videos, giving it another go, subbed, and thanks for history too by reading those numbers, re-discovery of the past is so great, respect for the past generations efforts and legacy.

That RC bottle is a keeper!

I miss down south. Thanks for taking me back. I used to do some exploring with friends where I used to live. I lived in Lavinia Tennessee. I was in a different element when I lived there. I was from PA originally. I was called Yankee all throughout high school. But After I graduated high school all but some excepted me. I miss it! I miss the good folks and good eats. I still got my slight accent even know I haven't been back since '02. But I really do miss everyone down there. I miss the lifestyle. I'm back in PA now. But I wish I never left TN.

Abandoned rail tracks are very melancholic places. Here in the UK many have been changed into official walking-routes and cycle-paths (eg The Maunsell Trail in Derbyshire); but I think much of their melancholia stems from the fact that they were once needed by the community, and were busy with people, or goods, travelling around. The only poisonous snake we have un England is the Adder; and they would usually scarper on hearing human voices or steps. This is a really atmospheric post, though. Thank you all.

Very good video,especially when you guys checked out the bridge.I'm a big railroad fan,and really like seeing abandoned tracks like this;I'm sure there's a lot of history behind them.

Blackberries and other wild edibles along trails are the original "Trail Mix Snacks"...

Before I get yelled at for trespassing.... Those rails have been abandoned for about 20 years and are on a property that I have permission to explore. In fact it’s about 2000 acres I have to explore, so expect more videos of this area coming soon! That being said, that bridge was pretty dangerous, so don’t try this at home folks. Or if you do don’t tell anyone that I said it was ok haha liability haha Also, another reason why I don’t publicly share exact locations. I know that angers some folks. Oh and the PROPERTY OWNERS DO NOT WANT ME TO REVEAL THE LOCATION! I can’t see why some folks can’t understand that.

I really enjoyed this one for sure , thanks

Robert ... you definitely have this 77 year old grandma scared to death ! Also afraid of height and snakes. I’m not even there with you, but you sure keep me prayed up with some of your videos! Lol You take care young man.

I love this bridge. It would be hard for me to leave it. I've never been there but I had a dream not long ago about this bridge or one very much like it. I was a good dream as I remember.

That big railroad tie at 14:10 is a tie used specifically on a bridge. The cutout you referenced is for the bridge girder.

Awesome tour thank you

Thanks for sharing your adventures, love old railroads wherever they are… Subscribed

that bridge looks to be quite solid to me,, even the ties aren't rotted yet, you would be surprised how strong it is. I bet it would be able to handle a train with no problem. Im sure you can find bridges on short lines in far worse shape that are in regular use the bridge is all steel construction with concrete caps on the piers, probably built sometime after WW2. Looks like a Southern RR design to me. Put new ties on the deck and it would handle anything running today.

An amazing place my friend 🙂👍

Enjoyed this !! Thanks

Very cool explore!! I love/hate old trestle bridges! They scare the hell out of me (heights and rot) but they seduce me with their beauty and history! Thanks for the journey!
