Indeed, as one leaves Bellwood on the way toward Tyrone, 220 gets quite close to the foot of Brush Mountain as does the PRR main and as did the Altoona trolley line. But so does the Little Juniata River. So there's no no creek in that stretch.

I was a bit surprised to see on the 192-something Tyrone quad that the street car turned at Tyrone and ran a mile and a half or so eastward along the Little Juniata. That might open up another possible place or two. Nothing I can see there, however seems to fit as well as Mann Narrows, objections raised so far not withstanding.
