Thats impressive. Its amazing the ability to build that in the early 1900s and still weathering the storm. I know to most people its just a pile of old wood but thats really a site to see . Well done !

I worked up and down that railroad and creek for over 30 years. I managed that property for APCO for over 30 years. I have walked and ridden atv’s down that track many times. A wildfire burned that trestle maybe 15 years ago. I actually walked across and rode atv’s over that and the other trestles. There are some drifts that are accessible still but many are covered up. I actually own 70 acres in that area that has a mine on the Pratt seam that is accessible. The Southern Railroad still owns the tracks, trestles, and right of way. Your video brings back lots of memories from that area.

I'm so glad I found your channel! I lived in the area for a few years and never looked into the history of the area too much unfortunately. Thanks for your efforts, they are much appreciated.
