Incidentally it shows track on "Second Avenue" between the Browns Bridge
and Rankin as "inoperative". Track from Glenwood Bridge (not the current
one of course) to Browns Bridge was operative. A trip along there found no
street surviving from Browns to Glenwood (I assume the railroad took it)
but street much of the way from Rankin to Browns is still there, and track
is still visible in front of one of the mill gates that's still there.

The police get bitter if you go down in there, but we entered (in a car)
from the Browns end at a road whose marking was only "CSX - No Dumping".
Not posted, not private, you can make me miserable but ultimately I will
prevail. They checked for outstanding violations (there were none) and let
us leave.
