I didn't realize those two oft photographed/filmed bridges were near the new line Factoryville station. Looks like the roads are now named Seamans and Reynolds roads. Reynolds must have previously been Chrisman. It's gone now. I think Seamans is still there, but not sure.

Bob, where did the Factoryville connection end up? The old station? When was it torn out? I remember the line dropping down in Hop Bottom, but not Factoryville.
