The Doe River Gorge volunteer track rehabilitators negotiatied the rough but barely serviceable track up to the first Doe River steel through-truss bridge. We can now transport our tools and supplies to this point!

Interesting. O saw this from the other end in 1980 and I remember tracks stll looking solid across both bridges and tunnels, like the last train had justrun the previous summer. I have been to the gorge twice since 2000, but I have never gottenup this far. Thanks for posting this, I've always wondered what this end looks like today.

Are trains able to get to the bridge, and if not what's a rough estimate on when they will be able to?

@railrider52 The bridge is not lower. The river is closer. Its all up hill to the state line.

It goes thru another tunnel then ends on other bridge......other bridge is little lower than this one......grade goes downward. We are insearch of vol. to help re-lay crossties to get train to bridge.
