You mean; James Lloyd (of the Lloyd family of Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, prominent masons who were responsible for many of Washington County's stone arch highway bridges), the Carrollton and Thomas Viaducts, both recognized as nationally significant civil engineering landmarks. The B&O's promotion of well-engineered stone arch spans extended to smaller bridges as well, such as culverts to cross the many streams intersecting the state's railroads and roads. Throughout the nineteenth century, under such prominent B&O chief engineers as Benjamin H. Latrobe, Jr., and Leonor Loree, the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad constructed stone arch bridges at sites where the piers and abutments necessary for such spans did not block water flow or interfere with traffic beneath the bridge (Harwood 1979).
