This trestle over Chickasawhatchee Creek was located on a quail hunting preserve purchased by Dr. Charles Thomas Allen (1900-1982) in 1958, known as Magnolia Plantation. Dr. Thomas worked on the Manhattan Project and was a chairman of the Monsanto Chemical Company. I initially thought this was a train trestle, but as someone point out, it’s a bit light for that. Whatever its purpose, it has long been abandoned.
The area is characterized by extensive longleaf pine plantations and is popular with hunters and naturalists alike. The Chickasawhatchee bottomlands (swamps) are said to be the most extensive in Southwest Georgia and are home to numerous endangered species of plants and animals.
If it indeed is a railroad trestle, it would have to be very old. That is extremely light construction for a railroad bridge! very cool.
Jason-It does seem a bit light for a rail trestle. I may update this to indicate that. Thanks for pointing out.
Beautiful pictures! Great eye for composing your shots. Those who visit your site can tell you take photos not simply to document structures, etc. There is a real artist behind the camera. Good work.
