The Culvert under Milton Line Revisited

Earlier I visited to and did find another dry rail bridge through which Jackson Creek once flown.  Unfortunately, it was inhabited.  Travelling through the area, I decided that since it was colder now, Greg might have moved out to a place with more walls (or Vancouver), so I decided to get a better glance.


While the creek was flowing, the railway had only two tracks.  Therefore the original entrance is from the north side.  When the rail bodies added extra tracks, from the south side, they simply inserted a pipe to continue the culvert.  

Being quite belligerent with my safety, I hopped right down.  This time there was no date stamp, unlike at the Canpa bridge.  Also, unlike with the Canpa bridge, I did not venture further down, since it was dark inside and potentially still inhabited.



I also noticed that across the fence, the dry bed continued.  I decided to investigate.








The dry bed is crowded with brush and trees; there appeared to be be some sort of concrete formation down there too.


As you can see from above photo, I decided to descend down the dry bed.



I hiked up to the concrete structure and was met with, presumably Greg, who was understandably unhappy.  I then went on with my day.
