Title says it all, this is unique to say the least.

I am only 15 minutes from this. Did not know this rail existed.

Got to check this out.

It’s a lot deeper and wider than it first looks. Towards the end the train goes over some machinery and tractor.

Where is it located?
Never seen this before. Tks for the post… Neat idea to run a small gage train over a gap…

It is east of Cleveland, Tennessee on the Ocoee River, this is where the Atlanta Olympics River Rafting competition was held. Only venue held out of State of Georgia. This is a world class rafting experience location and beautiful scenery.

I have noticed the flumes about 150-200 feet above the river but never thought it also had a railway system. Hard to see in the summertime with all the greenery.
