I looked in Yancy, Mitchell and Avery counties in Bridge Hunter, but I could not find this bridge.
When Hurricane Helene wiped out most of the Clinchfield route, I read quite a few comments on Facebook wondering if CSX would bother to rebuild the route. It looks like they are rebuilding the route.

| Ron Flanary posted This is a screenshot from the latest Designs in Orbit YouTube video update on the rebuilding of the former Clinchfield. The bridge at Poplar, NC is now finished with panel track in place. CSX salvaged most of the old spans by fishing them out of the river, repairing and reinforcing, and fabricating new approaches on either side. The piers were also reused but with new concrete added. This work is a triumph of superior engineering technology and modern construction techniques. Well done! J.B. Rail Photog shared |
