On Thursday, May 6th, 1875, before daybreak, the famous timber viaduct over the Genesee river at Portage, on the Buffalo division of the Erie Railway, took fire, and was totally destroyed. The viaduct was 850 feet long and 234 feet high, built in spans of 50 feet each, each timber pier being formed of three bents placed side by side, and resting on stone piers. The destruction of the viaduct was complete, not a single stick of timber being left unburnt; the masonry in the bottom of the chasm through which the river flows, was badly scarred by the fire; that on the banks was nearly destroyed.
