[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by southpennrailroad</i> <br /><br />The South Pennsylvania Railroad was incomplete. However you might be interested in learning that they had done a survey just to the north of this PRR Rockville bridge. That aligment was called the Perry County alignment. It was to pass through Marysville traveling west into Fishing Creek Valley to eventually pass around ad through Landisburg, Shermandale and Germantown in te west sections of Perry County They wuld have built a tunnel just up the side of the Tuscarora Mountain west of Germantown to get them to passs into Horse Valley to Concord Gap on highway 75 and down the backside of the Tuscarora Mountain to reach Burnt Cabins. Tat is where the present grade is found to this day. This alignment would have eliminated the BLUE, KITTATINNY and the present TUSCARORA mountain tunnels. Thats your history lesson for this day.[2c] <br />[/quote]Uncle Russ. How did you know I was on here? <br />Allan.
