PRR's/PC's former Marietta Branch

Not much is left of this line today (ex-PC, exx-PRR), it was axed by Conrail right after startup in 1976. Ironically, it stood a decent chance of surviving at least through the 1980s (there were still 9 shippers at the time of abandonment) but CR in an effort to cut as many losses as possible wouldn't spare it. More information about the railroading that once existed in and around Marietta check out the below sites.

Next shot, closer view of the bridge (mind you, these images aren't the best, scanned in before I acquired a digital camera).

Next view, it's impossible to walk the ROW today as it has reverted back to private ownership.

Next view; you can just make out old bridge beams.

Next view, the visible ROW in the center of the photo (now a yard).

Looking north from the previous shot.

Final view, looking south where the ROW is now a farm road.
