    We did this yesterday. We had 4 kids under 12 with us. Actually very doable if you’re in decent shape. The last 1/4 mile is a little sketchy in spots. If you fear heights this section will test you. We followed the rails back down to the bottom to experience the tunnels and smaller trestles, though it lengthened the hike to 13 miles. Great day! Get out there!

    I dream of Some day, over seeing the renovation of that route; let alone the Campo museum access. It does seem pretty rickety, yet I never doubted that modern standards could do a basic renovation of that route; in addition to strengthening the trestle. Otherwise, I will definitely plan on making that hike myself in the future.

      Hello Sir. That shirt is a 2010 classic. I believe that while you are technically correct about the "trespassing" aspect, I would analogize short distance (5-10 feet) walking on the trestle as akin to going 57 mph in a 55 zone. I would be more concerned regarding personal safety for people which Josh covers. ;)

      Gotcha, I just worry that people walking along the bridge will ultimately lead to the whole area being closed at some point. Someone may get hurt going for the IG shot and that will be the end of it. And especially, someone with 275k viewers might be unwittingly encouraging people to walk the length of the bridge. :) @@TheLastAdventurer

    There is only one railroad link to the world in San Diego. That link has been severed several times now by massive landslides on the coast. The US NAVY is gradually getting more and more concerned about that. The Pentagon has made it clear that there will be no more base closures and is in fact expanding the US NAVY. Sooner or later this line will be needed again. There are NO alternatives.
