Lackawanna's Tunkhannock Viaduct

Description
History
In 1915, the largest [at the time] viaduct in the world was completed by the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western railroad in Nicholson, PA as part of its Nicholson Cut-off project. It crosses the Tunkhannock Creek, which is how it got its name. With a total length of 2375 feet and 240 feet (723.9m long and 73.2m high for you non-freedom users), one could certainly see why it was the largest in the world at the time.

In 1977, it was registered in the National Register of Historic Places.

User Selectable Features:
  • Available in 1915
  • Modded track support (Thanks Doug!)
  • Up to 30 spans long
  • Up to 250 feet of additional pillar height (0-100 slider)
  • Supports up to 20 tracks wide
  • Variable scale along the tracks
  • Catenary Options

Currently, it only supports level elevation. Does not support increasing/decreasing track grade. Why? Too much math, and the pillars would be angled poorly as well.

I decided to leave out the "LACKAWANNA" text for more versatility.

Future Updates
May add support for scaling of the arch up and down. An actual bridge would be nice but at the moment that has proven to be beyond my abilities.

I'm from around the area as well and Scranton is a great trainspotting location. The local railroad there uses equipment from the 60s. They have a lot of cool steam engines as well, unfortunately none are operable at the moment.

My brother moved from the UK, to Baltimore, and then moved to Waymart, not quite on my doorstep so to speak, so next time I'm in the area, I'll probably go take a look at it, as I never new that bridge was there!
Been around the area, Honesdale, Carbondale, Dickson City along with a visit to the railway railroad museum in Scranton too. Well worth a visit.
Plenty of history in the area too. Birthplace of the industrial revolution in America, with all that coal production and mining you can understand why, and the need for bridges to overcome terrain issues. Would be a great excuse to make a coal themed map of the area...
(hmm there's a thought)

Yes the DL&W had an extensive electric commuter network in the North Jersey Area. New Jersey Transit still operates those lines as the M&E Division. Contact me if your interested with Details, I built a DL&W workshop route for Train Simulator, So I have a bit of DL&W info.
