This describes a different bridge, but the factoid concerning cut sandstone also applies to this bridge.

The trail bridge is obviously an abandoned railroad bridge. I accessed this map to determine that it was the LS&MS railroad. It also shows how the Vermilion River cut a gorge through this area.
