The local historic landmarks known as the Peale Tunnel (top; circa. 1883) and Viaduct Bridge (bottom; circa. 1884), currently in service as part of a public Rail-Trail in the scenic Red Moshannon Creek valley, are endangered by RRLLC's proposed landfill-incinerator-industrial park project. One or both of these structures, recognized by many for their historic value and unique characteristics, may be lost to reactivation of the rail lines for trash trains. This dump will bury and destroy the remains of the Centre County side of Peale, Pennsylvania, including a large portion of the historically rich Snow Shoe Rail-Trails.
