This bridge is the largest owned by a tourist railroad east of the Mississippi River. This line runs from Waterville to Grand Rapids, Ohio, acquired when NW was filing abandonment on the line south of MP 15. Currently Midwest Rail holds the lease on the line north of MP 15 to Dutch RD, which is still owned by Norfolk Southern. Currently TLEW only operates as a passenger railroad with Midwest Rail as sole freight operator on the line.[1]
