1899 BPRR/B&O/BR&P Trestle over Little Mahoning Creek near Goodville near Dayton, PA

I added "near Dayton, PA" because all of the Goodvilles that I could find on modern maps did not include this one. The BR&P Goodville has disappeared.

The bridge is 1000' (305m) long with a main span of 120' (36.6m). [BridgeHunter]

The Buffalo Rochester and Pittsburgh Railway Company posted
The Flyer crossing Little Mahoning Creek at Goodville Pa circa 1900. The locomotive appears to be one of the beautiful ten wheelers.

Dennis DeBruler commented on the above post

The railroad crossed the Mahoning Creek a little east of this crossing.
1909/09 Smicksburg Quad @ 62,500

You can see that the bridge over the Little Mahoning Creek still has its towers.

The bridge to the east has concrete piers. The trees block getting a decent street view.

This is on the route between the B&O mainline and DuBois.
