Left: Old bridge pilings. These pilings, on the south bank, are remains of a C&WV bridge used to cross one of many drainage ditches along the mainline. This location is southeast of Gifford and is accessable off of State Road 49 between Gifford and Newland. Right: Same location, looking at pilings along the north bank of the ditch, and northwest toward Gifford.

 

This picture is of the old ROW south of the ditch. In the distance is Newland.
