That does make me sad. Alot of memories. Brings back good memories. If I hit the lotto I'll buy it and restore it and Kinzua bridge. Steam 4 Life!!!

A great piece of history..

[steven8979]

Sadly, if you head south on the line from this bridge, the next crossing on Highland road about a half mile away has already been torn out. So basically, you are almost at the southernmost point on the line here.

[steven8979]

yeah the highway Dept did that due to the re construction of the road, its probably not a good sign. : (

[sunlitstormclouds]

what are cinders?

[steven8979]

cinder is un burned coal from a steam locomotive that has been dumped onto the road bed.

[TrainGuy18]

coal dust or soot. it has many names

Rail conversion=Comp Bars. Those timbers are from the old truss bridge. The one you were on was rebuilt I believe in the late '90s. You dad is correct, that is the old station location. Thanks for documenting! 5*
