Galveston-Houston Electric - Dickinson Bayou Trestle
These Galveston-Houston Electric listings taunt me, Luke. They are well documented and the great portion of the right-of-way that was taken over by the utilities is very visible.
But I'm frustrated in finding any extant bits and pieces to photograph. The utilities have sanitized the right-of-way.
If you learn of any culvert or rotted piece of trestle on this ROW, let me know.
