The Bermuda Railway Pages

Sisson's Trestle, January 2001.

You can see how the path must go down and around the trestle site, limiting this part of the Trail to walkers.

The Bermuda Railway hugged the shoreline to minimize land costs, but this route required many small trestle bridges.

By the end of World War II, extensive rot in the trestle timbers was a major factor convincing the Bermuda Government that it was impossible to maintain the Railway.

The white concrete platforms and steps in the foreground are more recent additions. The darker concrete piers once supported Clay's Bay Trestle. The Trail curves around the trestle site on the right.
