-125 years ago today, the first Ohio River Bridge was completed, connecting South Point, Ohio, and Kenova, West Virginia. The bridge was designed with a single track by Norfolk and Western’s chief engineer, W. W. Coe, but was constructed with piers wide enough to accommodate future double-track.

The bridge had four 300 foot spans and one 521 foot span. The Railroad Gazette praised the structure as “excellent in both design and construction.” Edgemoor Bridge Works designed and built the superstructure. The first two photographs from July 1891 show workers on top of the massive piers, and the bridge under construction. The third photo was taken in October of this yea

Jan. 16th, 2017 09:05 amBuilders' photo of D&RGW EMD GP40-2 locomotive 3130, built in March of 1983 to replace a wrecked GP40. It looks more like a GP50 because it was built post-1980 when EMD was simultaneously building late GP40-2 and GP50 locomotives. Therefore it has the anti-climbers, sloped generator blister, Q fans, exhaust silencer, the straight side sill and the 'laundry-chute' blower housing found in phase-2 GP50's.
