Solsberry - Tulip trestle
This is the third longest railroad trestle still in use in the world, GPS coordinates 39.075333,-86.854378. Greene County Road 480E runs under the west end. I'll try to get pics posted tomorrow.

John and I found the trestle yesterday. (john took pictures and said he will post) It's in the middle of nowhere but a fun ride on a great day. It's kinda fun flying through the woods on those narrow county roads. We only had about a half mile of gravel for that little excursion. John wanted to go meet a mini barn maker that necessitated about 5 miles of gravel. Again, its kinda fun feeling the spyder shake it's moneymaker.
Some of you local riders ought to join us sometime.
Love my
Statistics show that most motorcycle accidents are caused by a defective nut holding the handlbars.

Good ride yesterday, this trestle used to be the longest in the U.S., close to half a mile, and over 100 feet tall. It's around 100 years old and still in use. To give you an idea of what's happened to our dollar, it only cost a little over $250,000 to build. Pics in Solsberry trestle album.

I'll have to put this on my list of places to visit. I'd love to see a train going across.

From the road we were on getting there, it's kind of hard to grasp the scale of the thing, until you figure out it's half a mile away, and still HUGE! On Google maps, you can see it's shadow in the satellite picture.
