Brief Note: 

Written by J Randall Houp

Steel bridge which also includes attached wood trestle and several empty all cement piers. GPS location is an estimate and cannot be exactly deciphered with all the trees and other obstructions. Bridge sits on private property. Told by owners that bridge had once been set on fire. Evidence of fire seen when photos were taken with several burnt railroad ties and pieces of railroad trestle found.
