During the great flood of 1889 that leveled Johnstown the bridge was washed from it's former location 300 yards downstream to where it stands today. It was rebuilt there rather than dragging it back upstream. It was again rebuilt in 1992 after being closed for five years. There are 3 models in this series, JM-2 & JM-3 are available. The models are 1/48 scale which is O-gauge. The bridges are wooden construction with shake roofs of 50 year old cedar. |
