Bridge Over the River Beaver
Author: drwes

I caught these two NS freights over the Beaver River last weekend.

This is along the Beaver River. There are a lot of really neat RR bridges over the Beaver and the Ohio Rivers in this small town, which is near the east of the Sandpatch CSX division.

Here's one in Wampum,PA, over the Beaver river, but it won't be there much longer. I'm assuming work will resume on the new bridge when the weather breaks.

Excellent picture. I believe Wampum is north of Beaver just before the New Castle yards. Here's a picture of a bridge over the Ohio.

And here's a picture from the deck of the bridge.

Yes you are correct, Wampum is between Beaver and New Castle. Excellent pic of the old P&LE Ohio River bridge. I've been wanting to get down there for some time to take some pics of it. It is a magnifcent structure.

That photo with the crane:  those foundations with cut stone still look pretty solid.  Do they plan on building the new bridge on top of those??

You're really asking something on a 16 year old post?
