Norfolk Western Cincinnati District Cedar Fork Trestle
Constructed 1947 by the American Bridge Company, the Norfolk Western Cincinnati District trestle spans Cedar Fork east of Peebles, Ohio.(1) It replaced an alignment constructed by the Cincinnati & Eastern in 1883,(2) when a new quarry opened along Plum Run that required the railroad to be rerouted north and east.The bridge is currently not used, as the rail line is railbanked east of Peebles to the Scioto Division at Vera Junction.
