Abstract:The Hatfield and McCoy Trail Authority (HMRRA) operates the Rockhouse ATV trail between Man and Gilbert WV. Prior to this project, trail riders wishing to cross the Guyandotte River had to ride the streets of Man, WV. The project goal was to promote trail use by providing ATV riders a means of crossing the Guyandotte River that would minimize conflicts with automobiles. HMRRA secured a license agreement from CSX to adapt an ‘inactive’ existing railway bridge in Man, WV for recreational ATV use. The bridge is a plate girder structure that, following conversion, directs ATV traffic away from high-traffic streets. It should be noted that the bridge is rail banked by the CSX Corporation. As such, CSX continues to own the structure and can reclaim it for railroad use at a future date.
