but I never   <<heard>>   of a bridge over the Mon at Grant!       Looks 
more like  6th,  7th,  or  9th  over the Allegheny to me!!       Not 
Smithfield unless the alignment of the previous bridge came in at an 
angle!       The one we knew was slightly east of Smithfield proper as 
the Smithfield lines had to jog to their left as they exited the bridge.
