I wasn't sure what else to call this one, since it doesn't have any sort of name. This former railroad bridge crosses the Big Walnut Creek and has been put into pedestrian use. Coordinates are for near the center of the bridge.

A far as I can tell this railroad bridge used to be on the Cleveland, Akron and Columbus line, which was a part of the Penn. system. The tracks have long since been pulled out. This bridge now serves as a pedestrian bridge spanning Big Walnut Creek. Because of the steep ravine that the creek has cut, the bridge is fairly tall, and offers great views of the creek itself. Beyond the bridge is a series of trails leading through some old quarry sites. The bridge and trails appear to be private property, however a sign on the bridge assures that you're welcome here as long as you're not hunting, vandalizing, or littering.
Parking coordinates are provided below. The terrain is about a 1.5 to get to the bridge, but to get down to the creek below is more like a 3 or more.
