And once in a great while, a steam locomotive can be seen running over the viaduct. The more things change, the more they stay the same! Edited 2 time(s). Last edit at 06/27/16 13:38 by JPB.

Was that typical 100 years ago - or when this photo may have been taken?

This concrete structure would complement Nicholson, Tunkhannock, the New Jersey Cutoff, and the Boonton line as part of a low grade route for loaded trains.
