History and architectural features

This district consists of ten stone arch bridges, two parallel tunnels, and the right-of-way that links them. This 5.15-mile (8.29 km) section had the most bridges and tunnels per mile to carry the Pennsylvania Railroad right-of-way. The bridges were built between 1886 and 1902, and are multiple semi-circular arch bridges built of stone ashlar.

An original tunnel was built in 1850, and is a 1,151-foot (351 m) long brick arched tunnel. The parallel tunnel was built in 1900, and is a 1,075-foot (328 m) long brick-arched tunnel.^[2]
