4 KINZUA SKY WALK Walk the Tracks Across the Sky Kinzua Sky Walk One of the top 10 most Beautiful Skywalks in the World This engineering masterpiece, is the re-invention of the original Kinzua Viaduct following the tornado of The Kinzua Viaduct, first constructed in 1882, soared 301 feet high and 2,053 feet across, and was the highest and longest railroad bridge in the world. History of the Bridge In 1882, General Thomas Kane, decorated American Civil War Veteran, and President of the New York, Lake Erie and Western Railroad and Company, had rich coal deposits south of the Kinzua Gorge. But since his customers were to the north, Kane needed to cross the valley. Kane needed a bridge. Chief Engineer Octave Chanute accepted the challenge. He contracted the Pennsylvania firm of Clarke, Reeves & Company to design and fabricate the bridge. Adolphus Bonzano designed a wrought iron bridge using his Phoenix Column, an engineering breakthrough that enabled tall structures to resist vibration and Kinzua is the Seneca word for fish on a spear. buckling. The bridge was pre-fabricated in Phoenixville, near Philadelphia, and transported to the site for erection. Once the sandstone foundation piers were in place, 125 men, working 10-hour days, completed the construction in just 94 days. Three and one-half million pounds of iron and $275,000 later, the first steam-powered train rolled across delivering General Kane s coal to market. Standing 301 feet tall (24 feet higher than the Brooklyn Bridge), the Viaduct quickly became a tourist destination. Walking out on the bridge was the next best thing to flying. But by 1900, the locomotives and railroad cars across the Viaduct had become larger and heavier. A stronger steel bridge was required. Using 6.7 million pounds of steel, workers replaced the iron column towers with colossal steel towers, completing the work in just four months. For generations, freight trains loaded with coal, lumber, and oil roared across the Kinzua Viaduct. Sightseers from around the globe visited the majestic bridge - to experience the thrill of Walking the Tracks Across the Sky. For generations visitors crossed the Kinzua Gorge via steam locomotive. In 2003, a massive restoration effort was underway to preserve this National Civil Engineering Landmark. All was well in 2003, until the skies grew dark and the winds rushed in. 6 ALLEGHENY NATIONAL FOREST REGION MCKEAN COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA 7

5 visitanf.com KINZUA SKY WALK June 2003 The Power of Nature Tornado Strikes July 21, 2003 Bridge designer C.R. Grimm predicted his creation would last 100 years. And he was right. Grimm s design used roller expansion bearings where the tower legs were anchored to the masonry foundation piers. This design allowed lateral expansion of the tower legs under temperature loading. But his failure to replace the original 1882 anchor bolts would have catastrophic consequences. In July 2003, engineers and skilled bridge builders were hard at work on a $12 million repair project to reinforce the aging structure. The workers decided to call it a day when the sky went black and the winds rushed in. A tornado tore through the forest heading straight for the Viaduct. Hundreds of trees were ripped from their roots and 11 of the bridge s 20 towers were lifted, twisted and thrown onto the valley floor. Six towers remained standing on the south end; only three towers remained upright on the north end. Engineers later confirmed that winds attacked from three directions. The original 1882 anchor bolts and collar coupling assemblies, which mated the old bolts to the later 1900 construction, had failed. Within 30 seconds, nature had brought the mighty span to its knees. A viaduct is a long, high bridge that carries a railroad over a valley.

13 visitanf.com OUTDOOR ADVENTURES Birding Trails Location is everything, they say, and that goes for the Allegheny National Forest Region and birds. More than 200 species of birds can be found on the Allegheny National Forest, including bald eagles and osprey. The most common birds found are the ruffed grouse, the state bird of Pennsylvania, and the wild turkey. Buzzard Swamp, south of Kane, is a prime area to view these birds. The mourning warbler will likely be seen in clear-cut areas. Some of the most common warblers seen here are yellow, chestnut-sided, yellow-rumped, northern parula and bay-breasted. The hard-wooded forests are home to such birds as the yellow-bellied sapsucker, winter wren and hermit thrush. Osprey (Pandion haliaetus) are a fisheating bird of prey usually mating for life. Osprey nests can be viewed from Rt. 321 from the Red Bridge Area, Chappel Bay, Sugar Bay and Rt. 346 from Willow Bay. Bigfoot in McKean County Geocaching Trails Myth or Fact? Can Bigfoot really be living here? Many locals believe Bigfoot is here. Animal Planet filmed in the region and recorded positive sightings, and a game camera mounted in a tree by Rick Jacobs in a remote area of the ANF raises questions. Others just want to have fun searching for signs of BigFoot. In the meantime, have your photo taken beside a statue of Bigfoot at Rock City Park, or at Bell s Market in Kane, while shopping for Bigfoot Sausage, and of course you can always purchase a bottle of Bigfoot Wine at Allegheny Cellars in Sheffield! Bald eagles (haliaeetus leucocephalus) are among the largest birds of prey. They may weigh up to 14 pounds and have seven-foot wingspans. Bald eagles are readily identified by their white heads and tails; however, they don t attain this plumage until five years of age. They nest in large trees near water. Bald eagles have been sighted at the Allegheny Reservoir, Tunungwant Creek, and north of Eldred along the Allegheny River and Oswayo Creek. Bald Eagle Watch is February 3, 2018 at the Big Bend Birding Overlook. Birding Sites An excellent interpretive trail, Timberdoodle Flats, is a 1.4 mile loop trail located along Rt. 59 southwest of Bradford. This trail is named for the American woodcock, also knows as the timberdoodle, which uses both the forest and open areas for nesting. At Tracy Ridge Campground, you might find a northern saw-whet owl from March through July. Cerulean warblers sing in the oak trees along the Tracy Ridge Trail. Other suggested sites for birding are Marilla Reservoir, Rt. 346 in the Willow Bay area connecting to NY Rt. 280 along the northern portion of the Allegheny Reservoir, and along Rt. 59 at the Big Bend Birding Overlook just past the Kinzua Dam.
