It is a great place. At that time was working for N&W - Norfolk and Western in Conneaut, Ohio. The bridge was built by the Erie railroad back in the 1800's. It became part of Norfolk Southern when Conrail was split by NS and CSX - June 1, 1999. Conneaut is MP 116. On Norfolk Southern's Lake Division - Cleveland District. Between Buffalo, N.Y. MP. 00001 and Cleveland, Oh MP 184 and Bellevue, Oh MP 248.
