Bob, ever notice the year a few of those rails were forged? There age may surprise you, if you back away a few steps...
Interesting. I suppose some are replacement rails?
I get kind of sad thinking of the wasted opportunity by not reviving that railroad. Funding aside, it would be great to see that run again, if only on the weekend for dinner excursions etc.

The bridge had been replaced at least once, as well as the one at Atsion. When kayaking under them the old sawn off pilings can be seen.
Imagine the noise and the whistle of a steam engine through the pines! I would take a trip from Atsion to Chatsworth for dinner or on the holidays to have hot cocoa with Santa. It would be nice.
I explored a bit today. Since I noticed some rails worn much more the others. I checked the dates on them all. They all seemed to be of the same age relitvely. 1913 and 1917. They must have just worn differently.
I went back and checked most of the previous posts. I don't think this one asked yet.
And one looking the other direction with my copilot. Note the RR spike that he found that he wouldn't put down.

That is the bridge over the Albertson Brook.

We would go there often and eat lunch. Easy to get to but remote enough to not have to deal with anyone.
