The former main line was on this gravel road all the way to Mercer
through Sturdivant Crossing. This view
is Mercer Hatchie Road/Hatchie Station Road looking northeast. Note
the street sign on the stop sign read "Bill & Rubye Mullen". Interesting.

The former main line was on this gravel road to the closed gate at
the beginning of old wooden trestle. This view is Mercer Hatchie Road/Hatchie
Station Road looking southwest on Stafford Lane. I like to live in
this area.

This is the long, high height and old wooden trestle crossing Big Hatchie
River is still standing. This beginning of trestle is crossing the county
line of Madison & Haywood. Look at the right photo where there is something
about an half mile away. |

Now you can see two silver spots (white arrow), therefore it is an
existing iron truss railroad bridge. I used Canon 300mm zoom lens
shot at it. I have no way to go near that bridge but I wish. You can
see the rusty milepost on the right curb. I am unable to read it.

I taught my sons to learn what this sign means so they better stay out
of trouble and avoid being injury. Of course, we believe in Jesus Christ
our Lord. |

This is very old iron truss road bridge (closed), not railroad crossing Big Hatchie River.
This view is west terminus of Hatchie Station Road looking west crossing the county line
of Madison & Haywood.
