trestle over ivy creek

fair weather passenger crossing

full steam ahead

Descending from the high country on the way to Cregut, we encounter the trestle over Ivy Creek.

Heavy summer rains or melting snows in the highlands can turn this innocent little stream into a raging torrent with little notice.

Up to date weather conditions are telegraphed to Hawkins Gap where they can be relayed to approaching trains warning of possible trestle washout conditions.
