McKean County, Pennsylvania 23 Trails of History

Tracks Across the Sky Hidden … deep within the forest of Northwestern Pennsylvania … an engineering masterpiece, the Kinzua Viaduct once soared 301 feet high and 2,053 feet across, and was at one time the highest and longest railroad bridge in the world. In 1882, General Thomas Kane, a Philadelphia lawyer, decorated Civil War veteran, and president of the New York, Lake Erie and Western Coal Company, had rich coal deposits south of the Kinzua Valley. But since his customers were to the north, Kane needed to cross that valley. Kane needed a bridge. Paris-born Octave Chanute, chief engineer for the , rose to the challenge. The man who would later help the Wright brothers fly had a bold solution … a bridge unlike any the world had seen. Once billed as the “Eighth Wonder of the World”, this masterpiece was hit by a tornado in 2003 and laid in partial ruins until September 15, 2011, when the grand opening of the Kinzua Sky Walk brought life back into Kinzua Bridge State Park, located in Mount Jewett. Visitors can once again “Walk the Tracks Across the Sky” on the newly opened Kinzua Sky Walk. This pedestrian walkway was built on the remaining six towers on the park side of the Kinzua Gorge, extending over 600 feet out into the gorge. The octagon-shaped overlook features a partial glass floor which allows visitors to peer down below and enjoy stunning views spanning miles across the landscape. History of the Bridge Chief Engineer Octave Chanute contracted the Pennsylvania firm of Clarke, Reeves & Company to design and fabricate the bridge. Adolphus Bonzano designed a wrought iron bridge using his “Phoenix Column,” an engineering breakthrough that enabled tall structures to resist vibration and buckling. The bridge was pre-fabricated in Phoenixville, near Philadelphia, and transported to the site for erection. Once the sandstone foundation piers were in place, 125 men completed the construction in just 94 days. Three and one-half million pounds of iron and $275,000 later, the first steam- powered train rolled across delivering General Kane’s coal to market. The Viaduct was an immediate sensation. It stood 24 feet higher than the and became an instant tourist attraction. Walking out on the bridge was the next best thing to flying. But by 1900, the locomotives and railroad cars hauling coal and timber across the Viaduct had become larger and heavier. A stronger steel bridge was required. Using 6.7 million pounds of steel held together by 895,000 rivets, workers erected a new bridge to replace the original. Two timber travelers worked toward the center, demolishing the oil iron towers one at a time as the new

24 Allegheny National Forest Region Kinzua Sky Walk

Tracks Across the Sky steel ones were hoisted into place. A crew of 100 to 150 men, working 11- hour days, finished construction in just four months. For generations, freight trains loaded with coal, lumber and oil roared across the Kinzua Viaduct. Later, excursion trains brought sightseers and visiting engineers from around the globe to view the majestic bridge. Since 1963, the bridge has served as the centerpiece of the Kinzua Bridge State Park. The Power of Nature Tornado Strikes July 21, 2003 Bridge designer C.R. Grimm predicted his creation would last 100 years. And he was right. Grimm’s design used roller expansion bearings where the tower legs were anchored to the masonry foundation piers. This design allowed lateral expansion of the tower legs under temperature loading. But his failure to replace the original 1881 anchor bolts would have catastrophic consequences. In July 2003, engineers and skilled bridge builders were hard at work on a $12 million repair project to reinforce the aging structure. The workers decided to call it a day when the sky went black and the winds rushed in. A tornado tore through the forest heading straight for the Viaduct. Hundreds of trees were ripped from their roots and 11 of the bridges 20 towers were lifted, twisted and thrown onto the valley floor. Engineers later confirmed that winds attacked from three directions. The original 1882 anchor blots and collar coupling assemblies, which mated the old bolts to the later 1900 construction, had failed. Within 30 seconds, nature had brought the mighty span to its knees. Kinzua Bridge State Park Featuring the Kinzua Sky Walk, lovely picnic areas, hiking trails, interpretive programs, a park pavilion for groups and scenic overlooks, the Kinzua Bridge State Park is located just east of Mount Jewett. Drive the Kinzua Bridge Scenic Parkway, a designated shared use hike/bike corridor, to access the entrance to the park. Set your GPS to 1712 Lindholm Road, Mount Jewett, PA. Future plans for the park include the construction of a year-round interpretive visitor center. Group tours and motorcoaches are welcome, please call the park office to schedule free tours.Kinzua Bridge State Park - 814-956-2646
