Remarks & Notes |
The P&WV company news letter was named the 'Hi-Line' and for obvious reasons. By the time the Connellsville Extension had gotten under way, other railroads already coated the area's river valleys. As such, the P&WV was forced to build a line which virtually jumped from mountain top to mountain top on a series of massive bridges. At 190 feet, the Mingo Creek Viaduct was the largest of over 151 bridges on the line. |
