The bridge is over Antietam Creek, near Sharpsburg, Maryland. This area was made infamous by a battle in the Civil War in America known in the north as Antietam(named after the creek as was custom) or after the nearest town, Sharpsburg in the south(as was custom).
I always feel a tear at my heart and a tear in my eyes when considering these terrible battles. This one September 17, 1862 produced the bloodiest day in American combat history with over 23,000 casualties. All were sons of what was the same country prior to the war.
I will put up a bridge from a new photo soon as I get one.
