Blue is such a good buddy to go exploring with. Peaceful woods & interesting bit of train line history👍

Hi Robert and mark it's a shame they couldn't keep the up keep of the bridges it will be ideal for Walker's and they may come in handy one day it could be a good hiking trail 👣 but it's the times we live in always intresting Robert all the best 👍 Andrew south wales uk 👍 👌 😀 🇬🇧

I love old railroads and railroad history. Walking abandoned track is one of my favorite things to do.

Blue is surely enjoying this adventure.

I love seeing these old places tucked away in the woods or back country. Always something interesting to see. Thank you, Robert and Mark.

Hi Robert, that's a OMG bridge, oh my God we drove over it and survived. We have few of those up north in Minnesota.

Oh how I miss the woods. This was an awesome place. I love seeing old railroads n bridges too. Just use your imagination to feel around you what was exactly going on at that time. I sure hope you took lots of great pictures. If my daddy was alive today he would want to paint all of this scenery. Thanks Robert you made my day. 🥰 ♥️♥️😊👍👍🐶🐶🎄

Believe this was the line that carried the Central of Georgia (now part of Norfolk Southern) streamliner "Man 'O War" between Atlanta and Columbus up til about 1970. Interestingly most of the "Man 'O War consist still exists and used in various excursion operations. The line ran from Columbus thru Catuala, Pine Mtn., Durand, Greenville, Raymond, Newnan, Palmetto and into Atlanta.

November 17, 2007, Georgia Southwestern Railroad ran an excursion train from Columbus to Greenville, the last train through Pine Mountain before the tracks were removed. A railcar (speeders) excursion followed on November 18th. Shortly after that, Georgia Southwestern began dismantling the tracks. Future plans include converting the line to a bike and walking path.

Cool Trussell. I love it when you can touch history..

Robert, you are such a good man. Love of country, preserving history, exploration. While all the other guys your age (ok not all, but a damn lot!) are getting high & playing crap at loud volume, you care about all the right stuff. And do so humbly. I’m old enough to be your mama and if you were my son, I’d be so proud of you…heck, I AM proud of you anyway! Lots of love, Michelle in Boston

Blue is having a blast

Thank you Robert and Mark for the adventure into history today. I really enjoyed it. Good ole Blu leading the way.😊 Couldn't help thinking the whole time anout a guy named E.A. in Alabama that would love getting in that creek metal detecting. Lol

Love your videos and enjoy watching them. May the lord bless and protect you Robert and Mark bringing out history of the past

Love puppy dogs! Take care of him special, I miss mine so. 💛

This was great, Robert 👍. It's so cool to see how things were built and used back in the day.

I am a 76 year old native Georgian that loves your videos. When we were first dating in the late 1960's my late wife and I loved to go exploring down old dirt roads out in the middle of nowhere. I had a 1967 Ford Fairlane then and took it down roads I don't think I would risk with any vehicle without tracks today! We survived. The house, owned by my maternal grandfather, that I grew up in until I was ten did not have a bathroom inside until I was five years old! This was IN THE CITY LIMITS of ATLANTA! Latter, after my parents bought a house on the south side of Atlanta, I and my friends spent most of our time in an area near where a creek from Springside Drive joins the South River just west of Jonesboro Rd. On the hill between the river and creek we found lots of flint arrowheads, flakes of flint and even a complete tomahawk head with the thong groves on it that attached it to the handle. A bit south and east of there along Soapstone Ridge there were boulders that had partially carved soapstone bowls uncut from the boulders. Thanks for these videos and thanks for the menories.

Be careful Blue! I love you Blue!

One of your better efforts. The colors, scenery, history and the dog. ❤

That's a neat find. Ask Mike Buckner about it. He was going to write a book on the railroads at one point (or maybe it was going to be focused on the one stop backwards/forwards line in Junction City?) - Either way, I bet he'll know some history on it. My uncle Ross has some books on the old GA railroads. Anyway, very cool. I hope you let Mark borrow your Ray Bans on this adventure.

I like exploring old lumber are saw mills. That would be a great place to metal detect. Find some old blades. Thanks Robert and Mark

Robert, Just love you Outro:), Heheheheh Cheers, Rik Spector

awesome finds! Loved the concrete tunnel for the water.

I Love old bridges and crossings, no longer in use, cause the scenery areound them is usually so pretty. I remember Robert does not like heights, I remember when you was getting tree limbs off the Old Byrd House roof before it was all redone, and not to fond of getting up there. Love the misic you added to this video, just matches with the content, Robert! Shame that the creek no longer has a lot of water running though it. Amazin that the fieldstone foundation on the one side is actually seperating from the rest of the bridge side..LOVE that old water way tunnel.. Would be interesting IF there was, Somewhere actual pictures of what that saw mill used to look like, as compaired to what is left now..Great and interesting video. thank you for sharing, Appreicated.

Oh ye of little faith, Robert. If the sign says ok, it's ok. 😅 Blessings from Michigan.

Awesome adventure Sir Robert. Would be neat to 4 wheel the whole abandoned railroad line.

It was a Georgia Southwestern Line for freight and Passenger service that was decommissioned in 2007. track were removed and is now a nature trail.

Another totally awesome video! I absolutely love all this stuff you’re teaching!! Such a great relief from all the useless bs.

Cool old railroad, love finding relics of the past like that!

My kind of hiking and exploring! Love old railroad finds.

The was a cool video Robert

the old aluminum street signs are there to prevent wash out of the soil. it is amazing the force of water, and other of mother nature’s effects over time! the separation of the stone / mason work due to not being able to use re-bar to prevent weak spots in the formation. once under mined the walls do not stay standing as a structural support, eventually will fail! where I am living there was probably 15 to 20 railroads in the past. now only class 1 roads are CSX & NS. 8-10 short line roads. I always love to see the remains of the old RR, we have walking trails from New York Central, and national gypsum. have a great day, stay safe and enjoy your days!

Thanks for Mallow adventure and walk - around ❤Good Luck with all the Beautiful items in your Merchandise shop today As Many Can Be Given Ad Christmas Gits

Thing's I Dont Miss #1 Loging. #2 Driveing Truck's. 😎👍✌.

great video, this line was part of the Central of Georgia and the remainder of the active line is still in Newnan as part of Norfolk Southern

I'm in NJ. In nearby Wharton State Forest there is an abandoned railroad line, but the tracks are still there, and there are at least a few trestles out in the woods. Also all the bridges in the woods have wooden decks. That includes the bridges on the paved roads, though some have had the wood paved over, which I don't understand the point of. Anyway, those bridges in the video are cool. There is one dirt road I can think of that was cut off in the construction of the Garden State Parkway in the 1950s. Near that there is a stream. The stream goes under the parkway in the same kind of "tunnel" that you show in the video. I think that's called a culvert. I'm not 100% sure. It was cool to see all the other stuff after that "tunnel" too. Interesting stuff.

So many fantastic adventures! Thank you, Robert and Mark!

Cool adventure👍👋

Nice adventure. 😊

This is a great video. Thanks! Love it.

Another exciting episode of old abandoned history ❤️

lLove when you go exploring and take us along wonderful Robert take care ❤

Where's Annie Girl? Blue is such a good companion. He could teach her so much.

Great view of the bridges and railways. Fun to explore like this. Where we live, they have made several old old railroads into trails to hike or bike on.

Lord have mercy Robert, I'm good with heights either, especially edges, and then there's your feet on the edge looking down!!!!! My heart really jumped! K.

It's a railroad trestle because it is built out of metal and wood to support the weight over a short span. Bridges are for longer crossings spanning a gorge, river, valley, etc

Thank you. Merry Christmas. Loved the sounds.

Railroad ties have dates stamped into the ends of them so the rail company's know when it's time to change them for new ones. Different sections have various times to update, depending on the amount of traffic, could be every 10 or twenty years for example. The old ties are frequently reused for things like landscaping, walkways and fences. A local park placed them upright as poles to separate the parking lot from the grounds so cars wouldn't drive on the lawn. The date stamp is on the top, most from 1939. Still look good.

Love these old places and videos. All your videos are real. Keep posting them

That was awesome find i love history..Merry Christmas to you and your family I love your videos here and the farm

Very interesting place bt I would not drive across them what so ever. As I am scared of heights as well and my luck it would have fallen down if I were on it as I have bad luck ..but thanks for sharing this journey with us take care be safe.

So cool! Not too far from my neck of the woods.

Kool place...

Cool! Love anything to do with trains!

It looks like a narrow gauge...i love this sort of 'stuff'...coming from northern England...Now i live in Los Angeles where all you can find is people and traffic...have you thought about magnet fishing in these water holes-tunnels?

I love your videos !!!

Blue seems to not be concerned about the wood ties.

We have a defunct railroad bridge in my town in Vermont that is pretty sketchy. That bridge you drove over makes it look like new.

Pretty cool!

Robert mark and especially blue had a fun day

Looking pretty snazzy today.

Hi Robert, yeah those railroad tracks run to Greenville right thru the center of town pretty much over by the old Greenville bank. Ran past my uncle's house in Harris City as well. Ya'll be careful on your exploring.

Blue enjoy being out there 😅

👍👍

The old Central of Georgia “R” Line?

Reliable.

I was saying to myself-hope he has some waders on-about the time you said your boots we’re pretending to be waterproof!🤣🤦🏻

Love old bridges like that.

Sorry the app is Rail Guide as to the rail line in White Sulphur Springs Ga the closest rail line was maybe Southern before Norfork Western brought them to become Norfolk Southern and they run just west of I-985 so a spur to those tracks to White Sulphur Springs would be possible. If the saw mill closed the tracks set dormant till N&S decided to remove them. Also Greenville Ga had a railroad called COFG. Some of this is conjecture on my part hope it helps.

Glad you found those helpful speed limit signs lol...

Don’t you ever worry about venomous things as you’re traipsing through the leaves?? I’d be too scared to take one step!

Yall have White sulphur springs and i live near a Red boiling springs tn, neato

Hello if you can pass a general area of where you filmed some of us can use the app I hope it's correct Raillines. It shows all railroad lines built in the US and lines that have been abandoned and who owned them. It offers a choice of filters to narrow down a search.

Cool😊

Neat video!!! Hope no one was in that tarp too but if so you would have smelled it lol...Is there a part 2?

Yep, "pretty neet"!

This is cool! I would love to see it in person. Any idea when this was abandoned?

Strange the top is wooden and the rest iron.

Part of history still standing

Looks more like a bridge for cars

👍👍👍😎☕

Probably used the rails to haul logs out of there...

Over the river and through the woods, to grannies house 🏠 we go!!!

Would that be a good place to go mudlarking?

Kinda familiar with this old rail line. I believe it’s the same one that parallels alt 27 for some distance. If I’m not mistaken this old rail line runs right behind and old general store that you did an earlier video of. I believe the old general store had a connection to Publix. If it’s the same line that ran to Greenville.

I said it before thanks for finding history it should never be forgotingthere are to. Many people trying to erase history im sorry to say especialy white mans history thanks again blue continues to be awesome . I pray the other Robert is ok .✝️♾️🛐🕊️❣️

I'm afraid of highs to not me😮

Georgia central railroad or central of georgia

Hi Robert, as we were watching this video my husband and I asked each other where is the other Robert praying that all is good with him and your family and friends.

Probaly an old logging railroad

I’ve been to Nowhere Georgia, very pretty..🤭🤭 Heights not my favorite either!

Georgia clay

Where is ANNIE???????

You name your dog Blue? My ex brother-in-law named his dog Blue. Is your dog a blue healer too??
