Interesting, and nice photographs.

Very nice. I was curious about some of the trestles. I've fished close to them but never headed cross country.

Good work my skinny little friend. Now, go get me some more orange juice and bring to my office.

There was a trestle in Alpena. I'm not sure if it's still there. I'm gonna check it out soon.Very nice. I was curious about some of the trestles.

Re: The Missouri and North Arkansas Railroad Part 2
Very cool. I've thought about trying to cross that bridge at Beaver with an aluminum ladder a few times.
RE: The Missouri and North Arkansas Railroad Part 2
Hmm, that sounds like too much fun. I just went up to that big house at the top of the hill (Rogues Manor) and asked them if I could go back there. When I got there I tried to convince myself into walking on the bridge. I pussed out though. The water is too cold to fall into just yet.

I wish they would take these old railroad byways and turn them into hiking/biking trails like they did with the Katy trail in Norther Missouri there are alot of people who would use them and it might increase tourism even more.

I wish they still has passenger railroad service along the abandoned routes.

Yeah, I like both of those ideas. But since they aren't gonna run a train through there, they should make it a walking/biking trail. That would make me wanna go out and buy a bike

there's been a few people trying to buy up the land to do it. But they've been trying for like..20 years and nobody's been successful at acquiring all of it yet.Willard wrote:I wish they still has passenger railroad service along the abandoned routes.
I think something clever is supposed to go right here.
Re: RE: The Missouri and North Arkansas Railroad Part 2
I heard part of the problem with buying up the land is there's a section that's owned by some old lady who wouldn't let go of it now matter if they paied her millions of dollars for it. Anyway that's what I heard.David Keetz wrote:there's been a few people trying to buy up the land to do it.
