Known locally as the Rock Cut, this section of the narrow-gauge railroad track was subsequently widened and made a part of the roadbed for Ohio Route # 78. The Rock Cut is located about 1 miles east of Lewisville, Ohio. The bridge over the rock cut was part of the former Route # 78 that wound around hills and valleys before assuming the railroad bed after the narrow-gauge ceased operation. A loop of the old Route # 78, about miles long, still exists as an unpaved road that connects with Summit Township road, T-272. The township road, T-272, was formerly called Sixteen because 16 independent families of the Weber line lived there.
