Wampum, PA NS Bridge
Author: bobdiesel

The track is down and the rumor on the street is the new NS bridge in Wampum, PA will be open for traffic Monday or Tuesday. By my count, Monday will be 30 days since the erection began.

I have really enjoyed your photos of the progress of the bridge replacement! Thanks for posting. Hope you are able to get a photo of the first train over the new bridge!

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed them. I hope to get the first train across too, but if not there's always another coming along. I started a thread on Railfan.net showing the bridge from beginning to present. It can be viewed at:

I would have bet a week's pay that was coming.

Hi Bob,

I was wondering where you'd been. Great work. I certainly second everybody else's accolades. Keep it coming.

Great pictures.

I was born and raised 81 years ago in the State of Pennsylvania and everyday when I scan the TO site I am amazed at the locations within my State that I never heard of before. Take for example this thread where the pictures were shot in Wampum, PA. Never heard of it before although I distinctively remember from my grammar school days when I learned about the Native Indians of our country that Wampum was not listed as a location in PA but rather was a reference to the monetary currency used by our Native Indians.

See, it just goes to show you, you really are never too old to learn something in this life. Thanks to you all for listening to an old man rant and rave and have a nice day!
