This is the Lebanon Christian Church of Artemas, located at the intersection of Bollman Rd & Artemas Rd in Bedford County, Pennsylvania. I haven't been able to find much about the building's history but they have an active congregation and the church building looks to be in good condition.

The Van Tran Flat Bridge was originally built in 1860 by John Davidson. The bridge crosses Willowemoc Creek and is 117 feet long. A Town truss was used in its design. The bridge was originally known as Motts Flats Bridge. It is the oldest of four remaining Catskill-type Town-Lattice covered bridges in Sullivan County, New York. The structure was closed for more than four decades until restoration work began on the bridge in 1984 with the Department of Public Works doing the work with consultation by Milton S. Graton of New Hampshire. The bridge reopened to vehicular traffic in November of 1985.

This is the Grand Trunk Railroad steam locomotive # 6039 on the turntable at Steamtown National Historic Site in Scranton, Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania. It was built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in June 1925. It is a 4-8-2 Mountain class U-1-c. The #6039 was one of five 4-8-2 locomotives, numbered 6037 through 6041, delivered to the Grand Trunk Western Railway in 1925. These were the first locomotives on the Grant Tunk Western to feature both Vanderbilt tenders and enclosed, vestibuled, all-weather cabs. The locomotives were used primarily for hauling freight at rapid speeds. Today, this steam engine is one of only seventeen Grand Trunk West Railroad engines that have survived in the U.S. and the only 4-8-2 from the original batch left.
The locomotive is in good cosmetic condition but has bad cylinder castings making it not financially viable for full restoration.

Originally built around 1880, the Henninger Farm Covered Bridge, also known as Stroup's Bridge, spans Wiconisco Creek in Washington Township, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania. The bridge is 72 feet long. Arson heavily damaged the bridge in 2000 but it was rebuilt in 2003.
Historically, Wiconisco Creek boasted six covered bridges, and Dauphin County had a total of nine. However, flooding caused by Hurricane Agnes' remnants in 1972 destroyed all but three of the county's covered bridges. Henninger Farm Covered Bridge holds the distinction of being the only one remaining in its original location. Since a modern concrete bridge handles most traffic today, the Henninger Farm Covered Bridge is restricted to pedestrian use. Notably, the bridge's historical significance earned it a spot on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.
