PRR, Port Royal Viaduct, Three Arch, Four Track
Building a Rail Road for the ages! The
Pennsylvania Railroads westward expansion reached this area around 1852'. Bridges of wood and Iron construction
were commonm during this period. Many of the bridges and viaducts along this section were replaced during the 1880's
with cut stone arch designs. In many cases the original stone piers were utilized and incorporated into the viaduct
design. The Iron bridges were reused for local highways.
Model
composition: My models are built using an aggregate material replicating the look and feel of stone! Models like
the prototype can endure the test of time! Signed and numbered, models can be passed on to future generations
of modelers in your family!
Service life of One hundred Twenty Years (120) and counting!! The
prototype of this replica model, three arch cut stone viaduct, stands today, operating in revenue service for NS!
Design is testiment to the enginnering expertise and foresight of Pennsylvania Rail Road management and engineering
team. Replica model is an example of Americas "Turn of the Century" engineering excellence. Enduring
designs like this earned Pennsy the title "Standard Railroad of the World". Fouth Track removed during Conrail period.
