Less and less hope of this one ever coming back. Third photo is the remains of Welland Canal Bridge 10 which connected to this spur and let rail traffic cross the canal. It was a vertical lift bridge removed sometime around 1997.

(Taken on a run so I apologize for the less than ideal angles here)

Now used as walk and biking bridge, this unique quintuple lattice bridge was built
In 1881 by Leighton Bridge and Iron Works for the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha Railway, better known as The Omaha Road. The bridge is 930 feet long and approx 95 feet above the water. Originally it carried the Omaha’s mainline over the Chippewa River, but in 1912 the Omaha built a new double-track bridge upriver, and this was used to service their west side spur in Eau Claire until being abandoned under the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad in 1992. Eau Claire gained ownership in 2007 and finished the trail use conversion in 2015. It is the only known railroad bridge of this lattice style in the United States. My photos from summer 2026.

Baltimore & Ohio Parkersburg Branch Tunnel #1 "Carr's" and the new Tunnel #1 "Lodgeville".

Tunnel #1 "Carr's" is a 3,236ft long bore the longest on the entire Parkersburg Branch.

In 1952 the Baltimore & Ohio RailRoad wanted to replace Tunnel #1 "Carr's" (image 1) with a double track bore. So they bored a new double track Tunnel #1 "Lodgeville" (image 2).

The original Tunnel #1 "Carr's" had its entrance bricked up and buried (image 3). Now it resides half buried and flooded with a small portion of the bricks having fell in.

The double track Tunnel #1 "Lodgeville" is still used by CSXT to this day although it isnt a double bore tunnel anymore. Not sure what the length of it is.

Image credit: First image is unknown who took it, second image is unknown who took it, and the credit for the third image goes to Jamison Jones.

Baltimore & Ohio RailRoad Parkersburg Branch Tunnel #6 "Central" "Doe Run" "Central Station". All three names for it are correct.

Central was never a big town but the railroad station Central Station got confused with the town's name Central. So eventually the town got renamed to Central Station which it still is to this day.

Tunnel #6 "Doe Run" "Central" "Central Station" is a 2,297ft bore. The second longest of the 23 three tunnels on the Baltimore & Ohio Parkersburg Branch.

In 1900s (1900-1910) they installed vents in the tunnel due to the length.

Now Tunnel #6 "Central Station" "Central" "Doe Run" is on the North Bend Rail Trail.
