I like how Google has the bridge labeled as a heritage trail despite the fact it looks nearly impossible as a "trail" :p

Thanks to Lance Myers himself, this has been cleared up, the original photo I had used was indeed Stone Creek II but the bridge and it's info are from the smaller one known as Isenberg-Crossing or Stone Creek I. So to clear up all the confusion this is Isenberg aka Stone Creek Bridge on the old Right of Way on the future Rail to Trail along the Juanata.

I remember back in October of 2008 when I visit Suncook, NH that I was so confused when the GPS mapping tool I had borrowed showed a bridge just to the right where the actual bridge was and I couldn't figure it out for the longest time until someone at a local subway explained that there was an older bridge they had replaced a year ago.

Thank you for helping add / re-add 'Railroad' to most of the bridges that had them removed, or never added, or so forth and so on! It was a great help to me and now we went from a measly 1,745 listed RR Bridges to a full on 1,966 as of today 8/10/2012 ! Awesome!

I utterly agree with Luke Harden's post about redundant RR bridges too....you could still add Tall Bridges to anything extremely tall (like over 2 stories or something) or Truss and that will categorized them in the correct way. Also I feel we should add the RR to Rail to Trail and Rail to Road bridges as well because despite re-purposing they were still Railroad bridges.

Recently there was a small disagreement with the category 'Railroad' used mostly for general purposes to ID bridges and the like as once or still used by railroads.

I and some others up until now have been removing the category off an on from abandoned, disused, and lost bridges for the past two years, well I am doing an all-call to help 'correct' this blunder. Please if you add a bridge, tunnel, culvert, or viaduct that was once used for a railroad line, add the category 'Railroad' anyway or if you would like to help with the corrections feel free to add the category back to the bridges.

Alright I see your point, I apologize about removing the category and shall leave it be. I suppose that is what Rail to Trail and Rail to Road are for if the structure was re-purposed anyway right?

Comparing David Price's picture from 2010 (number 1) to Calvin's in 2012 (number 80) a lot has changed in the two years it seems like the bridge is being prepared for use especially since the walkway was added and it looks like some maintenance was started.

Yet I agreed with several people that if we do add Railroad we would need to add them to all 400 or so Abandoned Railroad bridges that people removed the 'Railroad' category from because most were not in use. So for now in compliance with the rest of the site, Railroad is only used for active lines.

The bridge was removed after flooding in November, 2011. As of July, 2012 it has not yet been replaced and there are no plans to replace it anytime soon.

Yeah it is a Deck Girder; my bad on that one.

Jodi once gain big thanks for finding that info, I haven't had time to look up or do many bridge hunts so far as of this posting. :)

From my understanding, the old bridge was moved to it's present local but the supports were used as scaffolding for the new road bridge, technically you can not drive on the older bridge but the route is still the old R&R route.

Great find! I always wondered if that was a RR bridge or just a farmers road..I did a little research, apparently this line use to run UNDER 81 and right up to where Fox Hill Road is now.

Thanks to Railpictures.net I recently found this old Minnesota / St Paul bridge -- 44.928911,-93.119451 -- Has anyone added it yet? I couldn't find it but I am sure someone who lives there may have already done so....since I am unfamiliar with that state I couldn't just go adding it.

Well I will have to see if I can get closer to the bridge then to see the date on plate / impression.

Clark Vance The alternate name comes from the local bar, Nathan Holth your right after researching it yesterday I learned this bridge was built sometime between 1884 and 1885 on Biesecker road and was intended as a horse and buggy style crossing for hauling by local farmers. I can't find much more then a date and purpose however, so I used Google maps for length approximation. Jodi Christman your right....been looking around back home in Ohio to add bridges here that I know haven't been added.
