This is video #046 in my Final Fantasy VII playthrough. The party lowers the railroad drawbridge via the switch on the upper level of the Mount Corel railroad. They can also climb the nearby slope to reach a nest. If you want to fight a bunch of Cockatrice (the "real" translation of Cockatolis), you can choose to take the treasure, which turns out to be a set of Phoenix Down.
Upon return to the lower tracks, the party can cross the bridge and take the lower left tracks to reach a secret shack containing a Power Source, a Mind Source, and a Tent. The exit to the southeast leads to a long suspension bridge. Watch out for the Bombs that appear here and love to explode.
At the other side of the bridge, they arrive in the run-down town of North Corel. And I thought the slums of Midgar looked bad... The residents don't seem too happy to see Barret, either. If you missed getting Cloud's Force Stealer during Rufus's departure ceremony, you can buy it here.
If you have any materia or equipment on Barret that you will want to use, be sure to take it off him before going up to the Gold Saucer.
Thank you for watching!
