The wooden bridge seen here was taken by the flood of 1936 and was replaced with an iron bridge. The Juniata & Southern Railroad bridge can be seen in the background. The railroad was built by the Greco Bros. in 1910. The railroad bridge went from Aitch to the coal fields at Jacobs. Greco Bros. started building the railroad below Aitch and connected with the Huntingdon & Broadtop Mountain Railroad. They intended to build a connecting railroad south to Hagerstown, MD, but were stalled by the East Broadtop Railroad, which refused to let them cross their right of way at Jacobs. During the litigation proceedings, Mr. Greco died and his brothers and heirs decided to quit and sell the road and all the equipment. Benjamin F. Grove was the engineer, and their sidings to make up trains were located in his field to the left of Trough Creek bridge. During it's 8 years of existence it hauled lumber, coal from Jacobs, and goods to and from Trough Creek Valley. The grade is now the road through Trough Creek State Park. The railroad bridge and steel from the railroad was sold to Russia at the beginning of World War I about 1918 according to Irv Schell. http://woodcockvalley.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=160504326 160504326 This iron bridge replaced the wooden bridge after the flood of 1936. http://woodcockvalley.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=160504327 160504327 This photo was submitted by Steve Weaver.

It last belonged to the Lengyel family. A family member is looking for history on the farm. Here is what she had to say of her memories of the location: " I remember turning down a road at a white church. From there I believe that you turned onto a lane that led to a boat ramp at the river. This lane went right past the farm." http://woodcockvalley.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=176886489 176886489 http://woodcockvalley.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=176886490 176886490
