N&W Bridge over Youghiogheny River at Connellsville, PA

(Bridge Hunter, no Historic Bridges, Satellite)

Both Bridge Hunter and the caption below agree that Pittsburgh & West Virginia Railway built the ca 1930 bridge and Norfolk & Western Railway bought P&WV. However, my 1928 RR Atlas shows just B&O and Pennsy running through Connellsville. The OpenRailwayMap shows the abandoned line, but I can't find label (railroad names) for any of the lines.

Dave Kuntz posted four photos with the comment: "The impressive quarter mile long 2 span bridge over Yough River Park in Connellsville PA.  It still has rails on it and appears to be in great shape despite not having a train cross it in over half a century."
