Canadian National #3254 makes it's way across the Tunkhannock Viaduct, the world's largest steel-reinforced concrete bridge, at Nicholson, Pa., during a special 2007 excursion.

Tunkhannock Viaduct 2007 (22MB)

On September 9, 2007, Steamtown NHS ran a special excursion to the famed Tunkhannock Viaduct at Nicholson, PA. ABC's regional affiliate and Steamtown NHS partner, WNEP 16, filmed the excursion from their Skycam 16 helicopter. Later, their talented production staff put together this video for our use - and for your pleasure! We graciously thank WNEP 16 and the Canadian Pacific Railway for their continuing partnership with our National Historic Site. To quote a famous northeastern Pennsylvanian, "Enjoy, enjoy!"

The video requires QuickTime Multimedia Player. Download it free here!
