This abandoned railroad trestle crosses Mark's Creek in Cheatham County. This bridge was originally built in 1901 by the Tennessee Central Railway as they extended their rail line from Nashville west to Clarksville. Around 1990, the tracks west of Ashland City were abandoned. While there have been nearly 25 years for the trees to grow through the tracks, the real obstacle is the trestle just stops about 10 feet to the right of the photo. Here, the tracks used to cross Chapmansboro Rd. and then the rail-bed becomes what is now the Rails-to-Trails Cumberland River Bicentennial Trail.
