| Jason Childs posted 📸 The historic Cascade Trestle Bridge rises high above Cattaraugus Creek between Concord and Ashford, New York. A railroad crossing was established here in 1898 by the Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburgh Railway. The original trestle was later replaced by the stronger steel viaduct seen today—stretching approximately 780 feet across the gorge and standing about 185 feet above the creek. Planning is now underway to evaluate the bridge for possible use as a future recreational trail crossing. Would you walk across this historic trestle if it became part of a rail trail? 📍 Concord and Ashford, New York 📷 Sound Visual Productions [There are some comments about a golf course not wanting people on the RoW to the trestle even though the golf cart trail they built is not on their property.] Brian R.

| Leslie Carr commented on Brian's share I have walked across it!😀 |
The roads have moved a lot, but the railroad route has remained fixed.
