1 dead, 1 recovering after fall from Riverside Park NS railroad trestle

[NW Mailing List]

I have no idea what people think railroad trestles are used for. I compare it to walking out on an airport runway to take pictures of airplanes! Sooner or later an airplane will land on your ass! Years ago I was told that on some social media site that folks told people that if they wanted a great photo to walk out on the Rivermont Trestle! Years ago a Liberty University football player and student got drunk at the Windmill Bar over near Flowers Bakery on Hollins Mill Road. He wanted to know how to get back to LU. Folks told him that the nearby railroad tracks went by LU. The boy decided to walk the tracks back. I think he was killed on one of the Blackwater Creek Trestles. I think I have the story right.
Take care,
Norris
