Welcome to Pennsylvania. For years I had business in that area and have been to the bridge many times, back when the steam trains were still offering excursions. It was a long and exhilarating walk across the bridge. FYI, if you get to Bradford, PA, also in McKean County, the Zippo factory and museum are well worth a tour. The Zippo WW2 exhibit is very impressive.

I just found your channel tonight and started with your overnight stay in the abandon lodge with below 0 temps. Now I have watched about 5 of your videos. Great content, I love it. You might want to check out some videos on here of when the excursion trains were still using the viaduct. The small concrete structure you showed at about 4 min in was a phone booth. In the pre radio days trains would have to check in with the dispatcher to find out if they were going to meet a train from the opposite direction and where to take a siding. Stay safe and keep up the good work.

Well, Post, I knew you'd get a kick out of visiting this. Imagine my surprise....I suggested a trip to the Kinzua Bridge a couple days ago in the comments, and here, you must have had this trip planned already. It's a really cool place to visit. My S.O. and try to get up here every couple years....it's just a day trip for us, a little over 2 hours away. We never get tired of it. When the trestle was first built in the 1880's it was considered one of the engineering wonders of the world. What was really amazing was that it went up in just 94 days. That was Kinzua Creek you crossed. It flows down to the Allegheny River...actually, I think it flows into the Allegheny Reservoir, behind the Kinzua Dam. You should have been there a couple weeks ago...the leafs were magnificent. I'm going to guess Ghost 10 enjoyed the visit as well.

My friends and I went out there in 1996 and fortunately took dozens of photos. We took a photo of ourselves with a camera on a tripod at the top of the trestle. My one friend was scared of heights and just as the shutter clicked, a gust of wind knocked the camera over. Got a great shot of my nervous friend and I in mid-scream. If he knew then, a tornado would knock it down a few years later, he would have had a heart attack. Great to see it again.

@@gordonrichardson2972 In addition to simple rusting, many of the bolts were from the original wrought iron bridge built on the same foundations 20 years earlier - not the steel used in the rest of the modern structure. When the tornado hit the towers literally just lifted clean off the foundations, fully intact until they fell and sheared from the rest of the structure. Who knows, maybe if they'd replaced those bolts with stronger ones to match the newer, heavier steel structure back in 1900 then maybe it would have survived the tornado.

Also, the bridge was originally built when trains were much lighter, less frequent, and carrying smaller loads. It also had a speed limit of 5mph, and the last train crossed it in 1959, when a cheaper, quicker, and more accessible route became available to the companies using the bridge.
