The Avery Street rail crossing will be free of train cars on race day.

Between mile markers 10 and 11 participants cross the railroad tracks at Avery and Sixth streets. If you look to the left you will see people finishing the race but you will still have approximately 2.3 miles to go, on the other hand, you have completed 10 miles. The train, which has been around for about a century and a half as part of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, will not run the day of the race. In 1982, the railroad bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. When it was built, the railroad bridge was the longest of its type in the world, using 50,000 yards of stone and 53 piers. Belpre Industrial Parkersburg Railroad and CSX use the bridge now.
