"The first bridge at this location was built by the Scioto Valley Railroad (SVR) between 1875 and 1877 and was ready for track laying on September 10, 1877. Boatloads of iron for its construction were delivered via the Ohio & Erie Canal." [B&T]

Bridges & Tunnels posted three photos with the comment:
115 years later, this Norfolk Southern bridge still stands strong.
The Columbus District line crosses Paint Creek in Chillicothe, Ohio, on a four-span Warren through truss bridge completed around 1910. It replaced an earlier structure built by the Scioto Valley Railroad in 1877.
