N&W in 1909--Bridge

[NW Mailing List]

How do the alignments of these two prior bridges look compared to today's alignment? I have always thought that the approach to Chillicothe was somewhat of an awkward one from the west.

And the new, second bridge was for the double track program and was a deck 
girder bridge while the previous bridge was a through truss.  Unfortunately, 
in March of 1913, this new bridge was obliterated by the big flash flood of 
that date.  The 1913 flood was a real biggie which wiped out most of the 
railroad and interurban bridges and tracks in the state of Ohio.
