Here is an abandoned spur bridge crossing the Youghiogheny River near the town of Adelaide, PA at mile post 90 of the Great Allegheny Passage Bike trail. The Local Artists have strived to keep the thing painted!! :-) This fed the Dickerson Run Coke ovens of the HC Frick Coal Co, and ran parallel to the Western Maryland Railroad right of way. Probably closed for 70 years or so. visit www.stuffthatsgone.com as well! Still photos Available at

  • I see ruins of a round house and turn table by the Dawson rd. bridge right on the grt alleg. pass......what yard was there?

  • @jeepers2655 that was the P & LE Yard

  • Doesn't that bike trail also go through the Ray's and Sidling Hill tunnels that used to be part of the Pennsylvania Turnpike?

  • @woodencoasterfan no this is part of the great allegheny passage from DC to Pgh

  • 1-1/2 miles from Connellsville Access (US 119), or 3-1/2 miles from Dawson/Dickerson run Access (Rt 819)

  • theres a bridge in the middle of nowhere its atleast 50 years old i love it

  • Very nice. I love to hike on abandoned railroad lines here in Germany. I´m taking photos every 50 meters and I´ll make some slide shows for YouTube in the next time from it. Keep up the good work! 5*****!

    PS: We have a big bike-railway-trail net on abandoned railway lines in Germany, too. Google "Radwandern´" or "Radtouren".

  • thats insane I love urban bridges

  • beautiful

  • When I biked along the Great Allegheny Passage, there was tons of this stuff; old bridges, abandoned factories, railroad history and other "forgotten" remnants from the past. Makes me reminisce about a much simpler time, although I wasn't alive. I'm Going again next week all the way to DC, will make a note to see this bridge!

  • Absolutely awesome!!!

  • I'm a truck driver and I was at one of the Nova Chemicals Plants in western PA near Monaca. I arrived during the fall foliage season and I was blown away at how vibrant the yellow leaves were. Pennsylvania also has some great historic amusement parks, Idlewild, Kenobel's, Conneaut Lake Park, Hersheypark, Kennywood, etc

  • there is bridge like this in my town. groovy place to hang out
