EBT Aughwick Mills 1914 Bridge (4/4)
The approaches are heavily shrouded in bush and trees. The rails continue into the weeds unheeded. Oddly, it is the adjacent roadway that seems anachronistic.
I've discovered much of the EBT railroad because of Vagel Keller's fine "unofficial guide":

I've driven past Aughwick Mills many times without considering anything might be there. I never realized that much of the railroad seen along route 522 is disused EBT track. Keller's guide indicates one of the earliest extant reinforced concrete bridges is there, dating to 1914. Some note it may be the first:
