==========

Didn't know there were any railroad concrete arch bridges in south west Ohio.

All part of the 'Big Four': Cincinnati, Cleveland, Chicago, St. Louis.

Not in very good shape but still being 'used'.

Believe it has 5 arches.

=========

Depot.

Walked down to the bridge and 2 more tracks went under the bridge plus another train.

To the left is a 'junction' between the two track 'levels'.

136 lbs.

On the way back, got a better view of the bridge.

Another concrete arch bridge a few miles 'away'.

Another train.

================

Americana.

Sidney, Ohio.
