As
of 2006, this viaduct continues to operate in daily service on the high density traffic corridor between Johnstown
and Pittsburgh, PA. Prototype has provided one hundred six (106) years service for several owners, including the Pennsylvania
RR, Penn Central and Conrail
History: During the mid 1800s the Pennsylvania
Railroad was experiencing significant growth in traffic and revenues. Management embarked on
a massive line improvement program. Work included right of way and infrastructure upgrades. Dramatic increases in both passenger
and freight Increases in traffic mandated expanding the existing two (2) track mainline
to create the legendary BROADWAY four (4) track mainline. At that time, the Pennsylvania Railroad was a wealthy line. Management and the engineering department spared
no expense in building a rail line that would endure for the ages.
