Kinzua Trestle Bridge

This trestle bridge, built for railway coal haulage, was at one time the tallest (100 m) in the world. It was constructed in 1882 and retired in 1959. It became a state park attraction but was destroyed by a tornado in 2002. It is now a tourist attraction. The time slider shows it intact in 1993.

I went there on a field trip in the early 90's when the bridge was still intact and being used for sightseeing trains .
It was an interesting experience .

Note: about 35 miles away ( by road ) from the bridge is Kinzua Dam, one of the largest dams east of the Mississippi River in the US goo.gl/maps/HKgZQMvNcoFbA7WH9
