Where was the bridge in the photo? It was listed as Farmersville. Of course, it could have been replaced, but I'm not seeing anything around Farmersville. Thanks.

I believe that photo has appeared on this site before. Oatka Creek near Warsaw, perhaps? Ring a bell (no pun intended) with anybody?

The mainline was on the hillside on the east side of Warsaw and remained so until Rock Glen, nowhere near the creek. A possibility is on the freight branch which descended into the village and did cross the creek. I recall this was a deck girder bridge, but this was after the track had been pulled up and I never looked closely at it. Things could have been filled in and changed after the the photo.
