Description
The
footings
and
abutment
for the
high
trestle
are
visible
evidence
of a
method
of
crossing
a
deep
ravine
. At this
point
the
course
of the
railroad
turned
south
parallel
to
Clifty
Creek
,
which
is
deep
down
,
immediately
beyond
the
abutments
. This
is
part
of the
remains
of
Brough's
Folly
. This
alternate
route
,
which
would have
done
away
with the
troublesome
incline
, was
about
75
percent
completed
when
financial
difficulties
caused
its
stoppage
.
