Are the rails still in place? Doing a doubletake on that middle section, looks like its raised.

The only thing this reminds me of is some guy riding total interurban from New York to Chicago many moons ago, now you use a bike?

Rails and track are all gone, the hump in the middle is actually the area between the tracks, maybe the fender/walls of the ballasted timber deck? I have attached a photo of what it looked like before the revamp for reference. No riding bikes for me not with the photo gear anyway, I hiked in from the lot near the Colemanville Church, its about a 1/4 walk.
