1913 flood. Belpre, Ohio B&O railroad station. Taken from Depot Street. Center and to the right over the hill is the present location of the Belpre High School football stadium. Note the Ohio River railroad bridge to the left of picture in the distance. Also note the height of the water. This was on the Washington-St. Louis main line. Jeff Hill collection.

So, in the above photo, these tracks were under water and the depot, along with the mainline tracks, were up on the embankment to the right.
