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.
