Bridge is the Watkins Glen Viaduct on the Syracuse, Geneva, and Corning (SG&C) RR line. Fancy script! The Fall Brook Coal Company was a coal company in northern Pennsylvania which played an important role in the New York Central's extension into the Clearfield coal region. Founded by John Magee, he was an early investor in railroads as they would be a much better way to transport his coal. Magee was deeply involved in railroad promotion in Steuben County, New York. He was one of the incorporators of the New York and Erie Railroad, and was part of two construction syndicates which built the Erie's line from Binghamton, New York via Elmira to Corning in 1849. Signed by Vice President John Lang. John Lang, treasurer of the Fall Brook, took the same position on the SG&C in 1875. He would be vice president by 1886. Pass was for NL Hobart of the Vermont Central RR. Date: Location: Pennsylvania HWAC # 53525
