Nostalgia & History > Never to Be RepeatedDate: 05/19/17 08:11 Never to Be Repeated Author: RDG630 Knox & Kane RR Alco #44 crosses the Kinzua Viaduct on July 11, 1996. A tornado took down the trestle which now has a trail on what survived the storm.

A shame to lose it especially since the strengthening project which was under way at the time would have probably have saved it from the comparatively weak tornado. I thought I heard that the surviving part of the span is the part that was completed. |
