The whole state of Ohio had devastating floods in 1913. It caused the extensive canal system in the state to be closed. Note the truss span laying on the far bank of the river.

Given the angle of the piers, it looks like the Pennsylvania RR Bridge on the left, which was replaced; and a road bridge that went to 3rd and South Streets on the right. 1910 Zanesville Quad @ 62,500

Brian Block: Dennis DeBruler you are correct. I found the original image and it’s the prr and 3rd street looking north.

At the north end is a swing bridge over the canal that is part of the Muskingum River Waterway.
