Hazards of Trillium Railway Townline Spur

Not really any hazards, unless you're afraid of trees.

History of Trillium Railway Townline Spur

This line was originally a part of the NS&T electric railway. It was in use until 2007, when one of the bridges fell victim to arson. The repairs were too expensive and the line was never reopened. The tracks were slowly removed between 2010 and 2018, leaving nothing but the former right of way.


The tracks were removed about 5 years ago, leaving a clear trail up the escarpment in it's place. There might be a few remnants, such as old railroad ties, spikes, and a few tie plates, but other than that, there's not much to see anymore.
