Chesapeake & Ohio Railway Spur
Royce,
I didn't post because I didn't consider it worthy of being here. I read your listing as an implication that this is the remains of a bridge. Whereas I see it as complete as is. Hence the enquiry.

Yes, a siding, and yes, it's a bridge. A beautiful old monster--pure functionality.

I am unsure. I added it because it bridged a couple of roads. Do you think I should remove it?

Was this a bridge or has it always been an elevated siding?

I would consider this worthy of being here. It’s the internet, not a book. I guess I’ve never seen a reason why any bridge falling into a historical category would be unworthy. Yes, it clutters the site but in reality,
It only slows down searching by a couple of seconds.
