W&LE posted a video of the replacement of the spans for this bridge. Here are three screenshots from that video. They made a big deal about laying new track each day so that trains could run during the night. But since there were two independent tracks, I don't see why they just couldn't run on the other side.

Mark Adamcik: It is good that the W&LE has rebuilt the bridge with both tracks intact

| 1 This is one of the views that taught me about Coen Tunnel, which is just west of this overpass. |

| 2 The center of this view shows the old span being trucked away. |

| 3 In the distance, we see the bridge over the Ohio River. |
The video opens with a westbound train on that bridge.

The W&LE had a couple more short tunnels west of here (Adams and Fellows), but the Pennsy had a longer tunnel (unnamed, near the top-left corner).
