LV/Erie Overpass
Description
A unique Baltimore truss configuration composed of a 3-panel and 7-panel span. To accommodate the skew of the crossing, the 3-panel southern truss is located opposite the 7-panel northern truss and vice versa. Likely demolished at some point after Conrail abandoned this stretch of the former LV Buffalo main.
