CSX - Conococheague Creek Bridge
Description
This bridge is located off of South Penn Hall Drive and Kitts Outdoor Arena which is adjacent to Wilson College. My GPS noted the private road as Wenger Road.I don't believe the railroad is in use anymore. South of this line has been converted to The Chambersburg Rail Trail.
