Hi Steven! This is a strange ghost story! Lula, to my knowledge, has always been a small town, even back then. Tallulah Falls was the resort town in the northeast mountains, booming even after the Civil War, so to have a murder there should have made the newspapers in the area at least! Of course, if she was killed with something other than a gun, leaving her on the trestle would be a good way to hide the fact! There was a bad depression in the 1880s in that area too, so following the train tracks was a common way for people to find towns and cities to look for work. That's another possibility. If folks hear the train without seeing her though, I might be able to shed light on that. I've always been fascinated by trains, so I would look up history on them in Georgia. I remember reading an article around 1975 about an old man who was the last engineer of the old railroad line and ran its final run in the early 1960s. He was retiring from the railroad altogether at this time and said that operating the Tallulah Falls train was the joy of his life. He swore that when he died, his ghost would probably still be operating that train, he loved it so much! I don't know how far back just the ghost train goes, but it is a thought! Wishing you, Autumn and Hope a wonderful, bright, happy and uneventful New Year in 2025! May God bless you and yours. 😊
Ah, your illustration of the Tallulah Trestle shows a wooden road bridge, crossing railroad tracks, not a bridge that could carry a train over a ravine. The only train that could cross that kind of trestle would have to be a ghost; anthing else would be much too heavy, and there would be no rails, ghostly, or otherwise, to guide it. Perhaps, given that a woman was killed there, is it an example of that old Southern insult: "She's ugly enough to make a freight train take a dirt road?"
@davidbabson7301 your good the picture used is not the actual bridge there are no know photos this was just used for video purposes also some photos are copyright so they can't be used I sure appreciate the comment
