The gate to this road was open this day, so I was able to get on the road that passes under the arch
John Carpenter: Originally the B&O intended to only erect 2 of the triple arch bridges.
They tried to force the Township to redirect the road under the western bridge and eliminate the middle bridge.
There was actually a riot, farmers and local residents were really pissed off.
There may or may not have been some gunfire. The residents tore out the work that had been done and forced the railroad to build the middle bridge.

Was this the second bridge that the B&O had planned to build?

And was this the third bridge that they were forced to build?
