Known locally as the Murmur Trestle or the REM Trestle, this trestle was built in 1883 by the Georgia Railroad. It was part of an extension into downtown Athens, GA. The trestle crossed Trail Creek.
In 1983 REM featured the trestle on their album Murmur. When the county tried to demolish the trestle in 2000 REM fans convinced the county to "save the trestle."
