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 ¼ 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 ¼ 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.
