A West Virginia railroad bridge destroyed by floodwaters 37 years ago is being replaced to enable a tourism train to resume trips through the area, officials said.
Braving harsh conditions and long commutes, Department of Transportation workers are rebuilding the Trout Run bridge in remote Pocahontas County. It was part of the Cass Scenic Railroad since it opened in 1963, and the rail line itself dates back to the early 1900s.
Floodwaters destroyed the tracks on the stone railroad bridge in 1985.
The project would reopen the rail line between Cass and Durbin.
