Description
P.R.R. Bridge over Otter Creek. This elevated portion of the railroad was made in 1910. The arched bridge allowed Otter Creek to flow beneath the tracks. The railroad above the arch had a water trough to allow steam engines to take on water. Below the railroad in the arch, was a heater to keep the water from freezing in the winter. The track in the lower portion was only a work track and was removed once the project was complete.
Date
circa 1910
