Point Pleasant Rail Bridge

Southern side of the bridge

The Point Pleasant Rail Bridge is a cantilever bridge that crosses the Ohio River between Gallia County, Ohio and Point Pleasant, West Virginia. At the present time, the bridge is being used by Norfolk Southern for transporting goods from point to point via rail, but it was once used by Conrail, Penn Central, and the New York Central Railroad.
