Patrick takes a break from suspension bridges to photograph four old rail through trusses. Patrick writes: "These are all located along the Pine Creek Rail Trail that runs the length of the Pine Creek Gorge just WNW of Williamsport, Pennsylvania. These four bridges are all within the first half (southern half) of the ~60 mile trail. The northern half of this rail trail is predominantly within the Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania." The bridges appear below starting with the southernmost of the four, working north. "All the Pine Creek crossings have three spans (1st, 2nd & 4th bridges) and the Little Pine Creek crossing is just a two spanner."
