I apologize for the mis-information. I was browsing under" 1913 flood in Hamilton ,Oh" and up comes a site that said that all of the bridges were destroyed in the flood. (High Street, Black Street, Columbia, and 2(two) railroad bridges. No dates were given but I am almost certain that info was given in the book on the Miami Conservancy. Sorry bout that.

There is a book called "The Miami Conservancy" that covers all of the flood prevention measures after the 1913 flood. as I recall , the hamilton railroad was the only bridge left standing after the flood and it's history was pretty well covered. I found this book in the Hamilton City Library and it covers everything from Dayton south on the Miami river. It is extremely interesting.

Does anyone know when this bridge was built? Was it also destoyed in the 1913 flood? Also any info on the Twelve stone arches that carry the railroad just west of bridge
