Nothing says Lincoln Highway quite like Dutch Haven:

A little bit east of Lancaster, not too far from the site of the annual Thresherman's Reunion (R&T Historical Association).

The Old Man loved pie of nearly every kind, but he couldn't stand shoo-fly pie. Not sure what it was about it, maybe the molasses.

It's a cake in a pie crust. The red headed stepchild of pies.

Can you deliver a few pies? Actually, I'd rather Montgomery pie over a Shoo-fly, :wink: :wink:

Interesting early G class PRR loco there at the station.


The whole scene has a kind of artificial look.....as in it almost looks too good/neat.....or maybe the word I'm searching for is surreal.

If you have ever gone across the original bridge at Columbia, PA, same kind of look.

The old bridge south of 30? Yes. We took that route to 83 from Strasburg once just for the fun of the drive. Very interesting and also nice.

Yes indeed, that is the one. Well worth a bit of time for the experience.

It is impressive and provides good justification to put as big a covered bridge as one might want on a layout - just need the supports under it.

Not sure where this might have been other than what is not Rt 75 over the Juniata. All replaced.........long ago...

I've seen a few three and four-span covered bridges before, but haven't seen one with electrical wires strung overhead. Great picture.

That is another great detail -- the electrical stuff. You cna also see how the bridge sections were strung together and how the seams are over the supports in the river. Each bridge section has a bit of a "hump" to it.

Lots to learn here for the modeler and more.
