One of the neatest things I found was a narrow gauge spike from the Cincinnati, Georgetown & Portsmouth. I found this while I was fishing White Oak Creek north of Georgetown Ohio. What makes this find special, is that it was located UPSTREAM from the location of the CG&P White Oak Creek steel trestle (which actually was the second highest railroad bridge in the state of Ohio). My theory is that some long ago section hand decided to see how far he could throw it off the top of the bridge, only for me to find it some 100 years later!
At the Mann's Creek Railway shop area near Clifftop WV, I was able to find some very worn Shay brake shoes and a brake shoe mounting bracket. At the same spot, I found a locomotive cab roof. I believe it to be either from Shay #2 which was scrapped at this location, or from one of the Climaxes for which one of there cabs served as a storage shed. Behind the old company store at Clifftop, there exists an old Bridge I-beam, which I believe might be the center span of the Tank Creek Trestle. Also north of the headquarters of Babcock State Park, I found and retrieved a small piece of rail that couldn't exceed about 25 lbs per yard.
On the Wanesburg & Washington railroad near Wanesburg PA, a landowner offered to GIVE me an almost complete intact wooden trestle that crossed her property. The wife wouldn't let me have it though.....

Donald Foster
