Sheepskin Trail - Bridge No. 2 - Dunbar, Pennsylvania.
The Sheepskin Trail was constructed in 2008, at which time this bridge was decked for trail use. As for the railroad history, this line was constructed in the 1900's as the Sheepskin Line to Farimont, West Virginia and was named for numerous sheep that were poached along the way with the railroad personnel yelling "Darn Sheepskiners".
