I found this website on the South Penn RR: <br /> <br />http://www.southpennrailroad.com/ <br /> <br />Check the 1884 report. <br /> <br />Also, <br /> <br />http://www.phmc.state.pa.us/bah/DAM/rg/rg29.htm <br /> <br />A few of the piers still exist and can be seen from <br />the Lemoyne (west) side of the river, directly <br />across from Harrisburg. <br /> <br />http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=138889 <br /> <br />Dave <br /> <br /> <br />[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by Modelcar</i> <br /><br />Dave, you created a great shot of the famous bridge....and a comment on the pylons to the right side of the bridge....From the history of that area I believe those are left over from the bridge under construction that would have carried Vanderbuilts South Penn RR over the Susquehanna. The railroad was never finished. Construction stopped in 1885. In general, the original portion of the Pennsylvania Turnpike was built along and near it's surveyed route 50 plus years later. <br />[/quote]
