Don and List,
The H&N bridge built 1915 that you mentioned in regards to the grade crossing in C985 - C989 was still standing 4-2013. Photo IMG-2446 Looks north west towards the grade crossing, view is similar to the Steam town view C987.

C0971-C0972 Show HW Ruggles Lumber area near the Bloom Pettibone Branch junction, between John & Union St on Vaughn in Luzerne, PA. Found Sanborn map made just a few months before photo:

C0984-C0985 Are taken on the Hanover & Newport on the way to the Bliss breaker shortly after the Auchincloss branch junction. I believe the road, according to the Val Maps, is the old Dundee Cross Rd, which was replaced in 1915 with an underpass and re-aligned new Dundee Cross road in Wilkes-Barre. Apparently the photos were taken because of an accident due to limited visibility of an oncoming train, hence the re-aligning of the road with an underpass. This area is all heavily wooded today, and it appears the RR bridge is still in place.
