W.S. Young has a book out and there is a model included in the layout at Roberson Center Museum, Front Street, Binghamton. They also should have copies of the book (soft cover, $12 I think). If you can't find the book you can contact Mr. Young. I don't have the address with me. I don't believe he has any copies at the moment as he is preparing a reprint this spring. It is being held up while he writes in the new operation of CNY. There might be a copy on Ebay but it retails for under $15 and is available in several locations in and around Susquehanna and at Steamtown and from Cals Classics.

Then type Starrucca Viaduct in the search field. Great drawings and architectual photos will be found.

...Bill Young's book has everything you are looking for as I reviewed it last night. If you cannot find it contact W.S. Young, RR3 Box 191. Susquehanna, PA 18847. If he has none on hand he can tell you where you can fine one.
