Abandoned Railroad Trestle Bridge Found In Woods Of Georgia

Exploring abandoned railroad tracks...

[AdventuresIntoHistory]

A forgotten, abandoned piece of American infrastructure. It is amazing to see something like this just left to run in the woods. Not to mention this is an amazing structure - so hard to imagine trains traveling down that old rail...

I just gotta say I just had surgery and I’m on bed rest for awhile so I am LOVING all these videos! Thank you for keeping me entertained during recovery!

There's just something about those old railroad bridges that I find fascinating. Thanks for sharing.

The SAM is the former Savannah Americus and Montgomery.

Currently the SAM is operated by the Heart of Georgia from Americus to Vidalia and has operated that section since 1999.

From Vidalia to Savannah it is operated by Georgia Central and they have been operating it since 1990.

Preston, GA-MaHart GA is currently put of service basically abandoned.

MaHart GA to Mongomery Alabama is abandoned.

CSX hasn't operated the line since 1990

Love the sound of summer in the background.

The copperheaded rattle moccasin thing should be on a tee shirt 😂😂

The creosote probably preserved the trestle for a longer period of time then if it had been untreated wood.

Savannah, Americus, and Montgomery railroad started in 1888 and was sold in 1895. Found on Wickipedia...

I have missed your videos...need to do some binge watching. This was an incredible find. It is so nice to click on a video and forget all about our tribulations of today and go back in time. It will be a sad day when parts of this bridge fall down. Listening to nature around you filming this and just looking at the beauty of the structure... one can hear the train and creaking of the lumbar as that heavy train goes cross this bridge. Whet an amazing thought and how “advanced “ those people felt at that particular time in history. Riding a train!

Beautiful find and a treasure for sure! So great to see you guys again!

Up north in New Jersey, Pennsy etc. Most of the abandoned lines, the track was pulled.
If that track was still active after 1956, I'm surprised it wasn't re purposed..
Down the Pine Barrens of new Jersey, off of the Tuckerton Stage road going from Tuckerton inland to Camden on the west,
I have seen pilings from old bridges and roads that crossed streams that once provided Forges and Stamping MIlls with water. Many of these forgotten Forges were active in the 17 and 1800's.,
but some wood remains, along with the sand stone structures of the buildings. Here there are old railroad lines with the ties still visible, rotting into the ground but no rails.
I live in Ferndale, WA now, but this video brings back memories of the Forgotten towns and cemeteries I visited for many years.
Cheers,
Rik Spector
