In October 2001, I was working on my book Railroad Masterpieces (Published by Krause Publications in 2002). Among the featured \u2018masterpieces\u2019 was Erie Railroad\u2019s magnificent Starrucca Viaduct at Lanesboro, Pennsylvania<\/a>. A classic Jim Shaughnessy under and over view was used on the book cover.<\/p>\n

Posting photos on Tracking the Light yesterday of\u00a0Lanesborough, County Longford<\/a>, reminded me of this image at another Lanesboro (albeit a different spelling) many miles and an ocean away.<\/p>\n

On October 21, 2001, Tim Doherty and I drove to Lanesborough so I could photograph Starrucca. At the time Norfolk Southern was operating the line and very little traffic was traversing the bridge. We didn\u2019t expect to find a train and as it happened, we didn\u2019t see any that morning.<\/p>\n

Later, we photographed the former Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Tunkhannock Viaduct and former Pennsylvania Railroad Rockville Bridge. All three bridges were covered in the same section of the book, and I thought it would be neat to visit all of them in one day.<\/p>\n

A black & white variation of this image appeared in the book, but I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve ever had the color version published. I\u2019ve always liked the tree shadow on the inside of the 4th<\/sup> arch.<\/p>\n
