Hello all. Is anyone familiar with the old Bucks Falls steel trestle in the area fo Starrucca P.A. It used to be part of the Erie/D&H, and was
railroad-trestle (wood 1870; steel,1888) as I have found out. My grandparents still live up the road from there, and I can still remember hearing the horns blow many nights in the mid/late seventies, during summer break. My grandpa telling me the story about the peanut on the tracks, getting hit and making peanut butter. Man those were good times. Does anyone have any photos of the trestle in it prime? I took a couple way back witha KODAK DISK camera , LOL, but have only one left and the ends had already been chopped off to the first supports. I have found one website that may be useful.
