This is a scale model, with a locomotive and passenger cars carved out of wood.

The real thing, elsewhere on Flickr: (I worked at a summer camp near Tunkhannock a few years during college; it was a bit surprising to see that town name pop up in the Commons!)

Now owned by the Canadian Pacific Railway. Could be a high maintenance structure in more ways than one!

Austin, a quiet town in Potter County between St. Marys and Coudersport, holds the distinction of having survived the second-worst flood disaster in Pennsylvania's history. On Sept. 30, 1911, at 2:29 in the afternoon, the Bayliss Dam burst. The floodwaters engulfed the town of 2,000 inhabitants, leaving 78 dead and a mass of wreckage in its wake. While the devastation caused by the Johnstown Flood is remembered through films, memorials and museums, the tragedy at Austin faded into obscurity.

The caption at the bottom of the photograph indicates that this is the Martin's Creek Viaduct of the New Line, DL&WRR. It is a smaller version of the Tunkhannock Viaduct. Construction began in 1912 and ended in 1914. It is also known as the Kingsley Bridge, located at Kingsley, PA. It spans Route 11 and Martin's Creek. Coordinates: 41°44'38.70"N 75°45'9.60"W

Thanks for illuminating the fine print, technogeo. We will add a note to the record.
