ERTS UPDATE: Dundon
Jan 24 2020

Late last year, contractors started tearing out the old railroad mainline ties and rails. That effort began near Nottingham's Store in Duck and is marching down the river bank toward Ivydale. As of this posting, crews have the ERTS trail surface pretty much complete down near Cunningham Motors. On the other side of the Ivydale bridge, all rails have been stored and most of the ties are tossed to the side well South of the old Ivydale School. OK, that's the update in the North
Now, in the Dundon area in front of the old Newt Bragg home, the old RR trestle has been rehabed to accomodate hikers, bikers, horseback riders and maintenance crews in pick em up trucks. See trestle picture below.

This is the pic of the old rights of way in front of the Bragg home. This area is where one set of tracks should have been left in place to accommodate the turning around of a rail bus. With the tracks all gone now, so much for thinking ahead.

If you stand on the Dundon ski slope bridge and look up river, here's tossed ties and long slivers of rails ready to be hauled off. For this section of trail, the destruction makes it up river half way to Two Run as of this date.

Near the intersection of the Buffalo Creek spur line and the Dundon mainline, there's an old building foundation still in good shape. The poured concrete is without cracking issues and would serve well for a trail building, rest stop, or the like.

That mentioned trestle crosses Buffalo Creek, Clayberry's only State stocked trout stream.
Look's pretty until you take an e-coli count.
