Delco Park Bridge

You will find this bridge over Little Beaver Creek, pictured below, at the northeast edge of Delco Park in Kettering, a remnant of our region's railroad heritage.  This was part of the Cincinnati, Lebanon and Northern (CL&N) Railway which came up from the south to Hempstead Station in Kettering where the route split in two, its northwest tracks heading to downtown Dayton and this northern track running parallel to Woodman Drive to the old Dayton and Southeastern Railroad at Lebanon Junction (behind the Root Beer Stande).  More regional railroad history can be found at this link.
