1910-82+2019 Trail/Pennsy Bridge over Big Walnut Creek at Sunbury, OH

(Archived Bridge Hunter; Bridge Hunter; no Historic Bridges; Satellite)

Brian Jules posted seven photos with the comment: "Sunbury, Ohio with the repurposed railroad trestle of the Ohio and Erie trail. This railroad  trestle collapsed in 1886 and again in 1910! Finally made right with an iron span in 1910. Trestle spans Big Walnut Creek, location of a Berea sandstone quarry just to the north. Info referenced from The Berea Sandstone Quarries of Ohio, Ralph Pfingsten. Historical photos Big Walnut Creek Historical Society."

"The Ohio to Erie Trail is a dedicated multi-use trail crossing Ohio from southwest to northeast, stretching over 326 miles of regional parks, nature preserves, and rural woodland. With the completion of this new Sunbury Trail section, the trail is roughly 85% complete. The trail, named after its endpoints, extends from the Ohio River at Cincinnati to Lake Erie at Cleveland, integrating former rail trails and multi-use trails into a dedicated route​​."
