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
I hear u buddy.. I'm also in a chair(paraplegic) and the only vein I have to the beautiful outside world is youtube.. so many people around the world taking these videos in high quality it's like I am virtually seeing the world from my bedroom~
I enjoyed this boonie hopping mission as well I have been wanting to take the crumbsnatchers out and show them what is right outside I'm good and tired of hearing I'm an indoor kid grandma. Not if I can help it. Exploring is where your mind grows full with questions that deserve answers and further exploration.
Richard Dismore .....your comment really is really touching. I'm glad you enjoy these awesome videos. I'm just getting started making videos of my own and plan on similar type content.
I second that notion. So many otherwise (would be) great videos are ruined by music blaring away. ..And the music is almost always much louder than the talking (if any). So yes, as Sylvia said above, Thanks!
Definitely keep it as is. I quite enjoyed that accent mannerism reminds me of my uncle Melvin but his was a Tennessee twang/thang spent most his life in California but never changed who he was.
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
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.
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.
Tommy D It could be that the railroad is not willing to rule out the possible future use of this line. It is very difficult, if not impossible, for a railroad company to reclaim a right-of-way once the trackage has been removed. Railroad companies shut down lines and leave them dormant for years sometimes with tracks in place should the need ever arise to reopen them in the future. Usually by then the tracks will have deteriorated well beyond usability and will require complete renovation, but since the tracks were still there, the railroad still has full right-of-way. Several old rail lines near where I live have been renovated and service restored in recent years. Part of one involved reclaiming a right-of-way where track had been pulled up. That was a legal challenge.
There was a line from Slidell Louisiana to Bogalusa. You can tell it was there by the way the trees have grown in, but the rails have been removed, but if you look really closely, you can tell that the ties are still in place.
Rogers Hunter Now with big semi trucks there is less demand for railroad bridges. Back then almost every small city had one. My home town has taken down a lot of railroads. I saw the city I live in in a history archive. There was a lot of rail lines. Buses also replaced some of the need for trains.
Tommy D There is big profit in pulling up abandon rail lines for scrap. But like the rails in this video there is much bigger profit in pulling up rail to relay. A lot more money in relay rail than worn out scrap. With over 45 years in railroad operations I don’t think this line is officially abandoned with the Surface Transportation Board.
Rogers Hunter The rail, ties, and ballast, can be pulled up with out the line officially being abandoned and the right of way remain in tact. I actually deal with this issue in my Railroad consulting business. In fact I am interested in this line due to watching this video and seeing how good of shape it appears to be in. With a few exceptions the ties look to still be solid, and the rail does not appear to be very worn on either side of the individual rails. You can find rotten ties and worn rail on active lines including the class 1 railroads like the UP, NS, KCS, etc, etc.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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!
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!
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...
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
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
I figured you’d enjoy this one! There’s a lot more track out there to explore, but I think this is the only bridge. I love abandoned rail stuff as well. I have found several stops along this line of track. Gotta dig into to the woods and see if I can find at least foundations.
Get an employee timetable from the early 1900s to 1950s. Get a highway or city map and go looking. I had an engineer working with me who said after pissing trackside that "nothing will grow there again..ever". It appears he was in error..it will overgrow.
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.
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!
1st time viewer here. Thank you for the pleasant stroll through the beautiful Georgia countryside. A bit different from my home in the high desert of N. Nevada. Great job!
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.
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!
Hey Robert, thank you that was wonderful watching you all cross that railway bridge. I was raised on a farm so all my life l have lived in forests or woodlands, l live in out of town now but have suburbs not far, watching you videos takes me bak to a happy life and wishing l was out there with you all. I got done by a tick, our are called Queensland Bush Tick, it had to get me one day. But your railway bridge was absolutely fascinating. Keep Safe out there, oh by the way, you have a peeker wich is a Bigfoot follow u for a little while, you will see him/her just like a dark shadow beside the trees. Alot of leans also. Thank you again For the fantastic videos, Debra from Australia.
Uneconomical. The traffic is not enough to support the maintenance costs. The lack of traffic may be due to available alternate routes and lack of originating or destination traffic.
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.
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❣❣
lol yeah I was glad when I got to the other side. I thought that sign was so funny to see on the other side. “Well it didn’t warn me before I crossed it!”
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.
I say let Cody do a little bungie jumping off that bridge 😁. Awesome place, loved the scenery, thanks for the adventure guys. Be blessed and safe travels 💒🌬️🤴🌈💞
Great day for a walk. We really enjoy your videos and discoveries. Cannot stand ticks, was told they drop down from above Should be very careful on old railroad bridges.
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.
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.
I love seeing those old railroad tracks, and ties very intresting. Be careful ,those old ties look pretty rotted to me, scary !, That old bridge was awesome ! Were they called trestle bridges , All those wild berries growing, we use to drive down the old shelter belt roads, and then get out & pick berries .years ago. My mother made the best pies ! Thanks for sharing your adventure. God bless
I’ve always heard railroad bridges called railroad trestles. I think a trestle bridge has something to do with how it is designed or supported. Not sure what exactly defines a trestle bridge. I’ll have to Google it. Yeah those ties were definitely rotten
Neat explore/video. Love old railroad stuff. When I cycle rail trails I generally go up under the trestles and admire the craftsmanship that went into building it. Nice channel, Subscribed.
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.
sjoldtimer yes, this rail was used up until about 20 years ago. It was originally a part of Central of Georgia. This stretch dates to the 1890’s. Although, yes the rails are newer for sure. I didn’t know that about the welded rail thing though.
@@AdventuresIntoHistory There are still sections of main line railroads that do not have welded rails, although they are few and far apart. The way the tracks are laid these days makes the welded rail (also called "ribbon rail") fairly simple to install. And, if you ride passenger trains at all, you notice the difference in ride (and sound) between jointed and welded right away. Regardless, very enjoyable video.
Very very cool explore and you guys have a lot more guts than me 😲 I never could have crossed that bridge lol 😝 Thank You for sharing your adventures!! 👍🏻❤️
Whew, you had me nervous for you guys walking on that rotten wood until you showed there were iron beams underneath. There's a similar bridge in my area that I've explored, but it is 100% wood and I don't dare walk on it. Great video, very interesting, thanks!
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.
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!

That bridge looks like it's in better shape than a lot of bridges that are still open in the US!
The tracks as well, except for the vegetation growing on them
Thank you for not playing background 'music'.
I sometimes use music in an intro, other times I like the natural sounds.
Which is perfectly expectable by most. Thanks! @@AdventuresIntoHistory
I second that notion. So many otherwise (would be) great videos are ruined by music blaring away. ..And the music is almost always much louder than the talking (if any).
So yes, as Sylvia said above, Thanks!
Yeah, for once, there's a video without annoying background music 👍
Definitely keep it as is. I quite enjoyed that accent mannerism reminds me of my uncle Melvin but his was a Tennessee twang/thang spent most his life in California but never changed who he was.
Crazy how quickly nature can take back an area that most likely was bustling with activity not too long ago. Great vid, as always!
Yes it is, thank you!

I really enjoyed our ramble thru the woods and across the bridge. I will be looking forward to more adventures to come. Thanks guys.
That bridge reminded me of the movie Stand By Me when the kids were walking across the bridge
Great video, with equally great narration. The perfect watch for this Sunday morning!
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!
Very much enjoyed this from a couple that explore abandoned railways in the UK. Look forward to more like this. 👍👍
What an awesome video! Touring a place I've never been nor likely will ever be. Thanks for sharing.
I love the way Cody always seems to be smiling, its always great to see smiling faces especially Cody's
Thanks. Great video. I felt like I was on this adventure with you guys.

Were they called trestle bridges , All those wild berries growing, we use to drive down the old shelter belt roads, and then get out & pick berries .years ago. My mother made the best pies ! Thanks for sharing your adventure. God bless
I’ve always heard railroad bridges called railroad trestles. I think a trestle bridge has something to do with how it is designed or supported. Not sure what exactly defines a trestle bridge. I’ll have to Google it. Yeah those ties were definitely rotten
Neat explore/video. Love old railroad stuff. When I cycle rail trails I generally go up under the trestles and admire the craftsmanship that went into building it. Nice channel, Subscribed.
That RC bottle is a keeper!
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.
sjoldtimer yes, this rail was used up until about 20 years ago. It was originally a part of Central of Georgia. This stretch dates to the 1890’s. Although, yes the rails are newer for sure. I didn’t know that about the welded rail thing though.
@@AdventuresIntoHistory There are still sections of main line railroads that do not have welded rails, although they are few and far apart. The way the tracks are laid these days makes the welded rail (also called "ribbon rail") fairly simple to install. And, if you ride passenger trains at all, you notice the difference in ride (and sound) between jointed and welded right away. Regardless, very enjoyable video.
@@sjoldtimer the mainline CSX in my town just finally replaced with welded rails a few months ago
Love your videos...you do a great job making it seem like we are there with you n the team.... keep up the good work n stay safe 🌅
Very very cool explore and you guys have a lot more guts than me 😲 I never could have crossed that bridge lol 😝 Thank You for sharing your adventures!! 👍🏻❤️
Yeah! I am surprised I made it across. Had to just keep going!
Whew, you had me nervous for you guys walking on that rotten wood until you showed there were iron beams underneath. There's a similar bridge in my area that I've explored, but it is 100% wood and I don't dare walk on it. Great video, very interesting, thanks!
Yeah! The bridge was stout, all except for the wood! I made sure I stayed right over the iron.
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.
Were you and some buddies going in search of a body in your dream.
I'm catching up on all the older videos, I love all the places you've been
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!
