Reply to "Weekend Photo Fun 1-27-23-???"

Have photos of a few different scenes to post this week…

First, here is a quartet of Penn Central units (one still in PRR colors) in 1969 blasting railroad east towards Enola. They are passing under the PA route 35 bridge which was built around 1964 to replace the original 1903 (approximately) pony truss bridge that once spanned the tracks. The structure is an I-beam stringer design, and the model is extremely accurate as a result of lots of research, photos, and measurements of the prototype. As you can see, it was built atop the stone abutments that formerly supported the pony truss structure. My son Steven 3D printed accurate Pennsylvania Department of Highways bridge railing used 1963-68. Mifflin tower, still in PRR colors, can be seen in the distance:

Neal,

Are you aware that this bridge is in the process of being repaired/replaced? They also demolished the house on the corner of Rt. 75 and 2nd Street that was straight ahead when you came off the bridge.

Also in Duncannon, the antique place Old Sled Works recently closed up.
