McMurray
Bill Crane provides a set photos detailing the area of the Montour
Railroad near McMurray around Mile post 33. This section of the Montour is
now part of the Arrowhead trail. |

This bridge is about half a block from 19 and
Valleybrook Rd |
|
Here is an old tie decaying near the bridge. |

This overpass is shown on the
track chart as a siding in McMurray. I'm not sure what the siding was
used for. The stream underneath in the pictures flows into Brush Run. This
overpass is about 1/4 mile away from the bridge shown above.
|
|
This is a top view that shows the siding. This
is looking toward Rt 19. |
|
View toward Valleybrook Rd. This is the narrow
Bridge that crosses brush Run. |

Bebout Rd. Tunnel. This tunnel was
built in 1913. |
|
The date of 1913 is etched above the tunnel
portal. |
|
This is a picture of an old cement foundation. The track chart shows a
tool house, (approx. location near previous bridge siding). I don't know
if you can see it, but there was a rail imbedded in the foundation..! A
better picture needs to be taken when the snow melts.

Part of my stupid dashboard, and trail overpass
over McMurray Road. I believe this overpass was constructed when the
McMurray/Valleybrook roads were re-aligned about 10 years ago. |
|
This picture shows a piece of skinny rail -
probably 90# stuck in snow and mud. |
|
Old roadbed facing opposite way (away from
siding overhead). |
