Big bridge, small train
Title:  Big bridge, small train
Description:  The train isnt actually so small, its just that the bridge is huge. A hazy day finds the Steamtown trip to Kingsley peering through the fog to see the small town of Nicholson far below.

CN on Tunkhannock
Title:  CN on Tunkhannock
Description:  Steamtown occasionally had a problem with its regular steam power, so they restored CN 3254 to serve as their main engine while CP 2317 was getting an overhaul. In 1990, they made an arrangement with Walter Rich to run the ex DLW to Kingsley Pa, about 30 miles north of Scranton. The route would take the trips not only over the massive Tunkhannock Viaduct, but also over its smaller sibling, Martins Creek Viaduct, and through Factoryville Tunnel as a bonus. This is one of the first trains to run to Kingsley, the eight car train dwarfed by the massive structure.

Title:  Wide. Really wide
Description:  A wide angle view of the Steamtown train seen from the cemetery above Nicholson shows the size of the bridge, and how it dwarfs the train rolling across.

View from town
Title:  View from town
Description:  Its hard to get a shot of a train on the Nicholson bridge from a close angle due to its height at sheer size. This look, taken from the Pump & Pantry on US 11 shows the bridge pretty well, but its hard to see the train, just starting after a short stop on the bridge to let riders take in the view of Tunkhannock Creek and surrounding areas.

Even with a tele, its a big bridge
Title:  Even with a tele, its a big bridge
Description:  The Steamtown train to Kingsley rides across Tunkhannock Viaduct as seen from the cemetery on the west side of Nicholson. Even from a distance, its huge. The heritage is unquestioned, as can be seen by the name of the former owner still proudly mounted on one of the arches.

Tunkhannock Viaduct
Title:  Tunkhannock Viaduct
Description:  DLW built this in 1915 to span the Tunkhannock Creek valley after rejecting a fill at this location. Its massive, and still the largest steel reinfoced concrete structure in the world. In some ways its hard to shoot a train here, as the bridge dwarfs anything on it-not that I wont try!! Heres 164 going across.
