At Swain, the Lackawanna & Pittsburgh crossed over the N.Y.L.E. & W. on an 1800 foot, eight degree curved trestle. From there down to Angelica there were a number of extensive wooden trestles, one being 640 feet in length and 60 feet in height. The only other trestles or bridges of any consequence were the narrow gauge and standard gauge bridges crossing the Genesee River and a narrow gauge bridge crossing the creek into Olean. Incidentally, the narrow gauge road occupied the bank of the old Genesee Valley Canal near Olean and for a number of years this railroad utilized a few of the canal structures.
Besides the engine facilities at Angelica, there was a small engine house both at Friendship and at Olean. When the Lackawanna & Pittsburgh reached Perkinville, they also were to build a locomotive house, able to house four locomotives. This author doubts if the engine house was ever built/ A turntable was installed at this terminal as well as a fine depot. The junction with the D.L. & W. was at first called Pittsburgh Junction, but later the name was changed to Wayland Junction.
