My friend Tami Toothman-Shoup recently shared two photos of this 1930s-era B&O Railroad Bridge, which prompted me to do a bit of research about this location. With her permission, here are her photos along with some others I found.
This is the Pleasant Creek Bridge, about nine miles south of Grafton. This particular section of track (part of the B&O Cowan Subdivision) was constructed during the 1930s, when the original B&O Grafton and Bellington Branch was relocated from along the Tygart Valley River due to construction of of the Works Progress Administration Tygart Dam (which created Tygart Lake and flooded the original rail route between Grafton and Phillipi). http://www.abandonedrails.com/grafton-and-belington-branchThis section of CSX-owned trackage is currently leased to and operated by the Appalachian & Ohio Railroad. https://www.csxthsociety.org/railfanning/appalachianohiorybuckhannonsentinelmine20160727-31.html
