Abstract Current levels of available resources to maintain and preserve the Pennsylvania short-line railroad bridge infrastructure require that important priority decisions be made on an annual basis. The primary objective of this study was to establish a reliable database of Pennsylvania SLRR bridges and to develop a risk-based bridge prioritization algorithm. A bridge survey of Pennsylvania short-line railroad owners and operators was conducted to develop a bridge database that would be as complete and accurate as possible given the available time and resources.

Introduction: Concept and Evolution of Fieldwork This study of the industrial and cultural history of Lower Armstrong County is based on a brief survey of sources such as county histories, town anniversary booklets, newspaper articles, and information provided by local historians, which provides the background for the oral history gathered in taped interviews. Many of the interviewees are retired laborers in the coal, steel, and supporting industries which made Armstrong County a major source of raw materials and industrial products in the last half of the nineteenth and the first three-fourths of the twentieth century. Their memories of work experience and their sharing of Old-World cultural traditions and family history form the substance of this report.
