How do the alignments of these two prior bridges look compared to today's alignment? I have always thought that the approach to Chillicothe was somewhat of an awkward one from the west.

And the new, second bridge was for the double track program and was a deck
girder bridge while the previous bridge was a through truss. Unfortunately,
in March of 1913, this new bridge was obliterated by the big flash flood of
that date. The 1913 flood was a real biggie which wiped out most of the
railroad and interurban bridges and tracks in the state of Ohio.
