[PRCo] More on the bridges

[DF Cramer]

But Dwight managed some great shots of the matched set of B&O Alco FA's on the trip. You can still get to Bruin, but that is it. The attached map shows the switch back in Clarion County.
The double deck bridge at Foxburg was replaced by the new one in 2008 ahead of schedule.
The Foxburg Golf Club has been there since 1887.
The Allegheny Grille is a nice day trip for those of you in the Pittsburgh area. http://visitfoxburg.com/
Most people don't realize there were 2 bridges to nowhere over the Allegheny. The Fort Duquesne Bridge sat from 63 to 69 and was not completed until 1986 when the Parkway North was attached. The Judge J. Frank Graff Bridge was built in 1974, but not connected to anything until October 17, 1980. My high school band performed at the dedication. The Kittanning by-pass was opened in 2001.
