......That sure is an impressive bridge. Have passed that bridge for 45 plus years on our way back home to Pennsylvania. I can't remember when we have seen a train on it....It sure does and has always impressed me as being adequately built.

Enjoyed seeing all those bridge structures photos.

Define "slab train" looks like an empty gondola train to me...Impressive bridge !

Last Slab Train on the massive W&LE Trestle 03/07

To the best of my knowledge this was the last slab train to cross the massive Speers Trestle that spans across the Monongahela River in Belle Vernon,Pa

Enjoy, Tom
