Lackawanna Railroad: Roaring Brook Bridge


A view of the Lackawanna Railroad bridge over Roaring Brook, just west of the Nay Aug Tunnel. This bridge was built in 1955 to replace the one that was destroyed in Hurricane Diane in August 1955. The old bridge was a large stone arch structure, similar to the Erie bridge below, which is further upstream. Hard to believe that the creek was high enough to send water through the tunnel. 26 miles of track was washed out between Scranton and Analomink.
