HISTORY: Originally, Prototype single arch, two (2) track, "BIG VIADUCT  was built in 1836' at this location. The Pennsylvania Railroad replaced original wood trestle in ongoing infrastructure upgrades keeping pace with booming freight & passenger traffic. 

The single arch Big Viaduct was a casuality of the terrible johnstown flood of 1889.  The entire structure was swept away by the force of the massive wall of water that decended upon Johnstown, PA and other communities in the Conemaugh river valley when the resevoir burst during a torrental rain storm.  A temporary wood trestle was erecthed to maintain traffic.

The Big Viaduct II, was built  as a two (2) arch three (3) track  design, Completed and commissioned in 1891' as a permanent replacement. It stands today operating in revenue service! Model, replicates the original viaduct design, carrying all passenger & freight trains along the famous "Broadway"  mainline over the Conemaugh near Johnstown, PA.
