| Description |
English: The flood of 1868 washed out the first iron Bollman bridge at this location, necessitating the replacement pictured in this photo. This is the third bridge on the second alignment of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, which war in use since 1839.
This view looks from the west abutment back toward the town Alberton, which was before Elysville and is today Daniels. The cupola seen in the distant left is that of the mill. Note the ties are roughly hewn, and hand tools can be seen in the foreground left. This could indicate the tracks had been recently laid over the new, replacement bridge. Meanwhile, on the right, a man with a wooden leg relaxes. |
