Curwensville, PA: Lost/B&O/BR&P Depot and Bickford Fire Brick Co.

Depot: (Satellite)

Brick: (Satellite?)

BR&P = Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburgh

The Buffalo Rochester and Pittsburgh Railway Company updated
[Some comments indicate that the bridge goes over the Pennsy.]

Today's David S. Ammerman Trail is built on the Pennsy RoW. The B&O's elevated RoW through town is marked by a bunch of abandoned bridges. The NYC terminated at a junction with the B&O after it crossed the river.

Because of trees, I had to guess on which side of the Pennsy bridge the depot was located. This aerial doesn't help much. I'm going to guess the west side.

Curwensville is on the branch to Clearfield.

Bonus: the NYC bridge over the West Branch of the Susquehanna River.

Further down, the BR&P and NYC RR are connected with a bridge over the West Branch of the Susquehanna River.

ckfor: It was 2 miles south of porcupine Ridge and down the road from Skunk Hollow. Make a right at the old barn that burned down . Keep going down the road till you come to a big rock that looks like a bear. Make a left there. It should be right down the road on your right or left maybe.
