TUNKHANNOCK VIADUCT
This reinforced concrete structure was the largest of its kind
ever built when it went into service in 1915 on the Delaware,
Lackawanna & Western Railroad. The bridge, 2,375 feet long and
rising 240 feet above Tunkhannock Creek, was the focal point of a
39.6 mile relocation between Clarks Summit and Hallstead. The
novelist Theodore Drieser called this viaduct "one of the true
wonders of the World." |
