    Great video Matt I'll have to check this out sometime this looks like a pretty long hike to that high train trestle bridge over River Styx Road maybe I may try that someday or take it all the way on the bike trail to the bridge

    I agree with you Matt a train trestle bridge up that high I definitely would not walk across that either except maybe if it is less than 50 ft high

    Very interesting guided tour. The Wheeling runs through the back of our property in our development in Suffield. So I will sometimes hike the tracks to Mogadore. You get to enjoy the wildlife and gain a different perspective on the landscape.

    I trespassed across this trestle back in the '70's when it was Norfolk & Western (ACY) property and there were two outrigged stanchions, one on either side, with fire barrels full of water on both of them. (I rested on both: Great view!) I knew about the speed restrictions for trains across this segment, had a keen ear for train crossing horns, and luckily, I am still here today. I wouldn't recommend anyone try that today, as the WLE trains have much higher track speed now. You might not make it across.

      I wouldn't do it either! Even knowing the train schedule & for a bunch of money!

    Go ahead and start walking across the bridge! You can try to recreate the Train Trestle scene in the Lost Boys movie. LOL

      I'd LOVE to catch a train or 2 on this bridge....problem is the traffic is sporadic enough, & I'm just far enough away, I'd have to do an all day stake out to catch one....UA-cam River Styx trestle, there are some neat videos out there.
