The Norway Railroad Bridge carries the West Fork River Trail over the West Fork River in Fairmont, West Virginia. It is located along the former Monongahela River Branch, a 33-mile branch line of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, connected Fairmont and Clarksburg. Initially established in 1890 as the Monongahela River Railroad, this line played a significant role in the transport of coal and zinc. Traffic on the line declined throughout the later 20th century with the closure of a zinc smelter and coal mines along its route.
